Zoom zoom NYD 2026

 Yesterday i finally managed to make it to a Zoom stitching day. :) :) It was so lovely to catch up with the lovely ladies. My stitching project was a rather large sashiko panel had started before Christmas.

I stitched across the bottom, a branch beside the deer i had missed, the eye & started the tree in the middle. I am using this thread

It has a lovely sparkle to it with the silver thread but sadly it's a curse to work with. I didn't know how much thread i would need so i bought 4 to be on the safe side but 2 would've been enough as i haven't even finished the first one yet. Ah well i have 2 more sashiko panels coming so i can use them on those.

Happy Stitching,

That sashiko is stunning Jeanette - I did not know you could get a sparkly thread ... yes I can imagine how tricky it could be to work with. xx

Such a nice project to work on and the thread is perfect for it.
Just wasn't in the right head space for zoom. always find it hard when my kids go home after Christmas.

It was a good zoom. I was only able to be on for about an hour before family came.

Lovely panel, hope the thread cooperates with you.

The thread may be a pain to work with, but the finished product will be so worth it. Gorgeous.
