All 24 Days of Sashiko

So I started 24 Days of Sashiko, hosted by Sashiko.Lab, back on October 24, and I kept up just fine with the daily prompts until I went off to Houston and Quilt Festival for a few days. Once I got back, it took me a day or two to get back with the program, but I worked hard to catch up, and finished stitching the final prompt on time on November 16. Getting photos was another thing entirely, so there went my initial plan of posting daily finishes along with the Japanese names of each stitch. 

In these two photos, the lower-left in the photo below was our first design; the upper-right in the photo above was the final design. You can see where several designs are variations of each other.

I really enjoyed learning some new sashiko stitches. My use of Kona Windsor for the base cloth made things a tad harder on myself, so next time I'll try to use real sashiko cloth. But I think the Aurifloss 2390 [Cinnamon Toast!] worked well, and for the record, I used four strands for all the stitching.

I'm thinking this piece might become a table runner, though I'll set it aside for a bit until I'm ready to finish it. Other projects are calling to me, but I know I'll enjoy completing it when the time is right.
