Sashiko is a traditional embroidery style from Japan. Originally used for repair and reinforements in clothing, now it is often used for decorative purposes. All Sashiko patterns are created with a basic running stitch, with the aim of keeping stitches as regular as possible so it is similar to hand quilting, however Sashiko designs are created on a single layer of fabric.
'Grandmothers' Flower Garden' from the America series is a popular pattern with the name coined in the 1930s. It is often made with a yellow centre, with six surrounding hexagons.
