"Sashiko" kitchen cloth

Here is a kitchen cloth of “Sashiko” stitches I made.
It is a fun and comforting to keep on stitching simple patterns without thinking anything. As a matter of fact, I was actually thinking of various trivial things while stitching. (lol)
As “sashiko” is a Japanese traditional stitch, I thought it is not well known outside Japan. To my surprise, however, I found several books on “Sashiko” which are written in English and published overseas. “Sashiko” is sort of quilting Japanese style!
