Quilt with our Diva, Meg Cahill on your Sashiko!

     <sup>Do you have a Baby Lock Sashiko machine? Are you thinking about getting a Sashiko machine? If the answer is “YES!” to either of these questions then this Diva Day is for you. We will be constructing a Spring-themed wall hanging using just our Sassy machines. Learn to piece, quilt, applique and use trims and yarns to decoratively embellish your project with this unique Sashiko stitch. We will have a limited number of machines to use for those of you thinking about adding a Sashiko machine to your sewing room. This is a great project to get ready for Spring!
