Excellent Pattern Resource

I took a sashiko class & the teacher recommended this book as a resource for sashiko patterns and some projects. This is not a book to start from the beginning and work your way through. Look for the patterns described as easy, and start there.Diagrams show how to build the patterns and pictures show the final result. There is a chapter with pictures of completed projects, as well as projects scattered throughout, and an extensive bibliography for those who want to delve deeper.All the patterns list the Japanese name and English translation. They also include historical or cultural notes.

The Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook

The author covers every aspect of Sashiko embroidery and quilting. The history of the art chapter is excellent, the illustrations are quite helpful and the instructions are clear and complete. In the past my search for learning about this art has resulted in the unfortunate purchase of several books dedicated to machine sashiko. My interest lies in the traditional art and this book treats every area of that ancient craft. I recommend this book to those seeking to learn and discover the exquisite art of Sashiko embroidery.

In-depth study and useful info

Excellent for beginners, the book gives historical background, then moves on to traditional materials and notions and how to use them. A very important section on how to draw motifs on square grids and how to elongate the grids to distort the motifs is alone worth the book's price for it allows total independence for the artist to draw motifs on any fabric the exact size needed for a project instead of relying on stencils and pre-printed fabric, besides being the traditional and cheapest technique.The projects proposed are in good taste and a good mix of tradition and innovation. Follows a rich pattern library that shows in what order to do each motif, a splendid "Inspiration gallery" and a list of resources. An excellent reference for the experienced and the beginners too!

Fantastic patterns

I had never seen Japanese embroidery techniques and this book was very inspiring for new quilting ideas. Highly recommend if you're looking into expanding your embroidery and patterning knowledge.

Beautiful book!

What a lovely book! Well-written, lots of information and projects. I love the way the author uses different colors in the instructions for different stitches, so you can see exactly where the lines go. By the way, the print version is SO much nicer than the kindle version. You really want to hold this beautiful book in your hands, so you can see the photos full-size.
