Yukigata sashiko - stitched snowflakes

Finished mat.

Just finished a sashiko project. Title is "yukigata", which translates, more or less, to snowflake pattern.

Pre-printed design on fabric and stitching diagram.

The stitching diagram. Self-explanatory.


I found this on ebay and plan to give it as a gift.

Looks good with KLM Delft houses.

DH was a consultant to KLM airlines for a time, so we have a small collection of their Delft houses given to businessclass passengers.  These charming items are actually bottles filled with jenever, or Dutch-style gin.
