Diana Li Fitzgerald's Patchwork Sashiko Method is best appreciated when samples can be seen and touched. This method creates a very textured and tactile textile that adds a unique touch to any sewing project or displayed on its own. Her current collection of sewing patterns, including those featured in her book "Patchwork Sashiko: Transform Your Scraps", will be presented. Then, Diana will demonstrate her technique and briefly talk through each step followed by questions and answers. Patterns and kits will be available to purchase. banjoflannel.com
