I got this little beauty in the mail a few days ago from someone who has been incredibly patient and understanding with me over the past year. I count my blessings every day for the people who put up with me, even the ones I only know through the internet.

It’s a pillow made from one of the little sashiko kits I sell in my shop! When people ask me “what can I do with the kit?” I usually suggest just stitching it together as a flat cloth as shown in the Olympus sashiko craft books, but this is just sweet as can be. I will be bringing it to show at upcoming classes so you can get an idea of well these kits can work as pillows.

Pardon my photography skills (or lack thereof), I ran outside to photograph it in the morning sunlight, of which we get very little during this time of year.
