Thank you for all the great info! You gave me hope that my stitching may someday be as nice as yours!
Hey there! I bought my first Sashiko sampler back in March or so and it really helped me get through some tough (not covid related) times. I was up after my babies were in bed stitching away and it helped quiet my mind. I’m looking forward to your content on the new YouTube channel!
Thanks for sharing; your passion for Sashiko really shows. I’m glad I was able to get hands-on Sashiko coaching with you when I visited Apex.
