Would like to see some advanced projects, the books were a little too small and shown too quickly to see. Lisa gives great encouragement and a useful supply list, thank you!

I first discovered this technique as I was browsing books on Japanese stitching and later became infatuated with the “kantha quilts” (an embroidery/quilting tradition in India which utilizes the running stitch). I love the versatility and the look and I am excited to start making some fun projects. Great class with easy instruction. Thank you, Lisa!

I liked how approachable Lisa made Sashiko. She was very clear and the drawings of what to do and what not to do were helpful. I also liked the further resources she described at the end.
