Our September 2025 workshop was with Liz Almond of Blackwork Journey, who introduced us to the world of Japanese textiles.

The day started with an introduction to the three techniques the members would be using. The morning was spent working in Boro and Sashiko, where scraps of fabric were attached to a backing material using decorative running stitches.

The afternoon concentrated on Kogin, using a counted running stitch on Aida fabric to produce beautiful designs.

As usual, Liz was very informative, giving us tips on many subjects. and a lot of ideas for future projects
