| Progress in January |
I posted about picking up an abandoned project in a January
post. It was a sashiko project that I began in a Sylvia Pippen class I'm not sure why I stopped working on it other than Sycvia's stitches were so even and beautiful. My stitches are not even and beautiful!

| February progress |
By the end of February, I had made more progress. I had wanted to add the applique in time to share at my March book club meeting; but, I didn't get the project to that point!

| Finished flimsy |
I was close so the first part of March I managed to finish the sashiko and added the appliqué. My stitches were uneven to the end; but, I like the piece. I'm not sure how I will quilt it. I did enjoy the handwork and I look forward to having a finished project!
Getting it to the flimsy stage was goal number two on my March list. Linking to Oh Scrap, Slow Sunday Stitching and Sew &Tell.
Here's they why I had time to finish the handwork. . .I was visiting my daughter and granddaughter in London for three weeks. I attended lots of activities including my granddaughter's fourth birthday party! I returned on Friday and am working on getting over the jet lag.

I think your Sashiko looks beautiful, Terry! So glad you were able to go to London for your granddaughter's birthday. Did you take the Sashiko along for a travel project? Have a wonderful Sunday!
What will this piece become? I will be you had a grand time in London for a whole 3 weeks!
This is gorgeous!
That is so pretty! One reason I stopped taking classes is that I didn't seem to ever finish the projects. This one is definitely worth finishing!
Good to have a hand stitching project with you when travelling. Will you make this into a wall hanging or pillow or something else? Turned out beautifully. Gail at the cozy quilter
It turned out so pretty - good job on sticking with it even though you weren't loving the stitches!
How exciting, a trip to London! You were visiting family of course, but there is such a lot to see and do there, and so much history. I do like your Sashiko piece with the added applique, I wouldn't have thought of that.
I think your Sashiko stitches look great, Terry. Love the color in the appliqued flowers, too. How exciting to spend such a long time with your family in London. Hope you are finding an easy transition back to your time zone.
I think it looks beautiful. The only way you improve your stitches is by stitching! Thanks for sharing in Sew & Tell.
Wow! That tuned out beautiful! The sashiko looks great with the applique. I have Sylvia's book, but hadn't tried this yet. Now I definitely want to!
The applique adds a very pretty touch to your sashiko! Sounds like it was a fun visit!
Look at that pretty Sashiko! The pink flowers pops, so beautiful! Glad you took time to visit your family and celebrate your granddaughter's 4th birthday.
