Description:

For this swap you will have one partnerand send them 2 ATC's. The theme is Sashiko embroidery.

Sashiko is a very old form of hand sewing using a simple running stitch sewn in repeating or interlocking patterns through one or more layers of fabric. Originally designed for quilting together several layers of fabric for warmth and durability or for strengthening a single layer of fabric, sashiko patterns readily lend themselves to contemporary designs and projects.

Many Asian cultures have utilized sashiko stitching as a sewing technique since ancient times, however, sashiko is most commonly associated with the Japanese. Patterns were adopted from kimono prints, fabric weaves and nature such as, bamboo, ocean waves, flowers, etc.

If majority of you have a lot of other swaps going on and need the date moved back, just give me a PM.

This is international, I will be checking profiles for minimum ratings and NO NO SENDS. Pretty please. Happy ATCing -- PeppermintChick

There I was a good girl and signed up hopefully some others decide to also. Are we sticking to the more traditional dark blue background or is it our choice of how to interpret?

You can use what ever you want, but there must be an obvious sashiko theme.
