I've demoed how to mark and stitch asanoha (hemp leaf) pattern in sashiko five times in the last day and a half! First as one of the 'four corners' at the Quilters' Guild area day afternoon in Perth on Saturday and then again (luckily only once) for Gillian Cooper's City & Guilds Certificate class yesterday (photos are here on Gillian's blog). By the third time, I was wondering if I'd explained the same point several times over to the same group or not mentioned it at all. It was fun though. Glyn took a few 'candid camera' pics on Saturday. If we'd known, we might have looked a bit more like we were having a really good time, rather than concentrating too hard.
