Japanese Boro Stitching began long ago as a way of mending clothing, but it has evolved into the loveliest of art forms now done by many as a daily practice. As a textile artist, I’ve fallen in love with this style of mindful hand stitching that I infuse with my own creative style. It is pure magic to see what emerges from each piece of cloth as I share my simple and successful style of stitching without an embroidery hoop. The beauty of the work evokes a great appreciation for simple pleasures as you learn the design, construction, and stitching on a sampler and a square compiled of a variety of fabrics.
You’ll have time to relax, experiment, and play with this wonderful art form as you create your own original pieced 9” square. A pattern for a Stitch Sampler is also provided.
