Japanese Stitch-a-Long, part 4

Hi everyone! Full disclosure -- I haven't picked up a needle since our last check in, so this remains the state of this cute sashiko bag kit:


Sometimes life just gets busy! I did write a blog post about Nippori Fabric Town and the shopping I did... spoiler alert, I would have liked to do much more, but I did pick up a bunch of really fun stuff!



Of course, that really just means I added to the stash... again!

I'm sure that, though I didn't make any progress on my projects, my fellow stitchers did. Check out their work on the links below:

Avis, Claire, Gun, Carole, Sue, Constanze, Christina, Kathy, Margaret, Cindy, Helen, Linda, Heidi, Jackie, Hayley, Megan, Deborah, Clare, Mary Margaret, Renee, Jenny, Carmela, Jocelyn, Sharon, Daisy, and Anne.

See you on November 3rd for our next check-in!

      A few years ago I dedicated myself to not buying any craft supplies except as needed to finish a project -- a cushion insert, the trim, the zipper, even a bit of floss was okay, but a new kit or a new project idea was not. I managed to do it for 2 years before breaking down! I am thinking I need to kick the off again...

      Thanks Claire! Now that our weather has turned it's easier to settle down with some stitching.

      Thanks Sue -- I'm probably lucky to have had a limited time in the fabric district...
