Fully Finished Gallery - Sumo Sashiko Table Runner

 


I am linking up with  Rachel's Fully Finished Gallery at Ten Hour Stitcher. Thank you, Rachel for hosting this SAL!



I stitched this sashiko sumo wrestler some time ago, but didn't know what to do with it.  





I recently decided to make it into a table runner. 





I found the perfect backing fabric - a Japanese tenugi cloth with sumo moves on it.



I am happy with it.

That looks great! I like the backing you chose, too!

Congratulations on completion. Nice finish!.
It seems that you can hear”Gottsuan-:desu“.

”Gottsuan-desu“ is the word used by Sumo wrestlers to say ”Thank you“.
In other words, it seems that Sumo wrestler is thanking you.

Sumo wrestlers on the back and front, and on either side of the sashiko you've got a cushion for the supporters to sit on! Great log cabin 'zabu futons'!
