What They're Saying
Critics Review
Rooted in centuries-old Japanese tradition, sashiko began as a practical method of reinforcing and mending garments with simple running stitches. Over time, it evolved into a beloved decorative art form known for its striking geometric patterns and meditative rhythm. Shannon Leigh Roudh.n and Jason Bowlsby honor that heritage while making sashiko approachable for modern makers. With more than 40 stitch patterns–spanning both hitomezashi (grid-based) and moyouzashi (free-form) styles–this visually rich guide offers step-by-step instructions, tips, and expert techniques for stitchers of all levels. With this guide at your side, even the simplest stitches become a journey into beauty and mindfulness.– “Quiltmaker Magazine”
