Sashiko Basics



In Japan, running stitches made by hand are used for quilting, mending, and decorative purposes. We will use a pre-printed traditional design sashiko panel to learn this running stitch embroidery style. A great technique that can be used in many applications, modern and traditional, to add texture and beauty to all your sewing and quilting projects.

A kit is included in the class fee and includes a sashiko sampler panel, thread, and needle. Please bring small scissors or snips and a thimble if you use one.

Learning from cultural textile traditions and exchanging powerful stories, continues to be a source of inspiration that she hopes to share with all.
Her goal is to unify students with different skill sets and share her love of art and vibrant textiles. She combines painting, weaving, hand-stitching, machine sewing, and embroidery to infuse her creations with energy and pay homage to her Cuban upbringing. She loves the art of collaging and storytelling with new and pre-loved textiles; Janome machines keep up with her big, scrappy ideas every step of the way.

She also presented virtually to the design students at the Indian Institute of Art & Design in New Delhi, India in August 2020 and teaches at Folk Schools, Quilt Shops, and Quilt Shows.
