Today I finally stitched together these pillow cases. The sashiko embroidery was completed almost a year ago with sweet Ruthie, as a diversion from surgery and chemo miseries. Mine is the wonky green basket weave design!!! In my defense, I was stitching under the influence! The embroidered portion is denim salvaged from some old jeans. Thread and other fabric cobbled together from the remains of previous sewing projects.
A long time in the making. I love them! They are the perfect example of the power of sewing - and love. Worthless remnants and difficult experiences reconfigured into moments and items of comfort and beauty. Thanks, Ruthie!
Sew and live chaotically! - love, les
Those turned out so cute ~ with special memories in every stitch.
