The finished Sachiko pillow. It has hand embroidered sections and the fabric I was brought from Japan. It is particularly nostalgic since the horror in Japan now.



I sold my Laurel Birch purse and sent the $ to Japan Red Cross fund.

A closer detail of the stitching. It uses a pattern to get the stitches even. I enjoyed doing it in the evenings. That is when i don't fall asleep.













Tomorrow is special day - I am going to a job interview for the first time in 40 years! It will be very interesting. Working on a professional satin stitch machine. hope I don't make to many mistakes!
