Let an expert teach you the traditional craft of Japanese country quilting, ';the perfect simple, low-cost hobby to get you off your phone' (Slate). Sashiko, the traditional Japanese technique of needlework quilting, uses a simple running stitch to create beautiful patterns ideal for patchwork, quilting, and embroidery. Sashiko, pronounced shash-ko, means ';stab stitch' and refers to the small running stitch that is worked to build up hundreds of distinctive decorative patterns. This book begins by exploring the origins of the technique: to strengthen clothes and to make them warmer. The ';Getting Started' section describes everything you need to begin stitching, including selecting suitable fabrics and threads, marking out patterns on the fabric, as well as the stitching technique itself. Ten project chapters show how easy it is to use sashiko patterns to make beautiful items for the home. The sashiko patterns are described in step-by-step detail in the pattern library, showing you exactly how to achieve each individual pattern with ease. Finally, a gallery of work by contemporary Japanese textile artists provides extra inspiration. ';A book I would suggest anyone getting started with sashiko would benefit from having in their library... Susan Briscoe writes with an obvious fondness for Japanese culture.' The Ardent Thread

Skønvirke er et ord, der umiddelbart tænkes på, når håndarbejde er i fokus.

Designelementer herfra har hun omsat til beklædning, tilbehør, broderier og interiør.Thorvald Bindesbøll var en foregangsmand inden for formgivning i en stilart, der omkring år 1900 var banebrydende herhjemme, kaldet skønvirke, jugendstil eller art nouveau. Han befinder sig tidsmæssigt på linje med Anna Ancher såvel som Vilhelm og Svend Hammershøi – kunstnere, som Ditte Larsen tidligere har haft på strikkepindene med storsucces, nemlig i sine to forrige bøger, Hammershøi på pindene og Anna Ancher på pindene.
