Cherry Blossom Report and Sunday Stitch Group
I've seen cherry trees in bloom in other locations, but not yet where I live. Yesterday I checked out two areas near my apartment where there are many cherry trees. First - the Ogawa River - buds but no blooms.
Next, I walked to Funakoshi Park, and again, just buds.
This is yesterday's view of Mt. Fuji from the park.
Sunday, the stitch group met. First we had show and tell.
Japanese Hangings/Table Runners
Colorful drawstring bags - both front and back
Our new project is Candlewicking. We needed to do some Colonial Knot practice first. They had done French Knots/Japanese Knots before, but the Colonial (figure 8) Knot was new.
Tea Time was very Spring and Hanami themed.

Your stitching group looks like a lot of fun as they often learn new things and try new thing.
The cherry blossoms have been blooming early for the past few years. However, it seems that the flowers bloom later this year than last year. It would be great to see cherry blossoms in full bloom at the entrance ceremony and entrance ceremony.😊🌸
I love it when your group does show and tell. So many lovely things! And soon, big time cherry blossoms. Yay!
The cherry trees are late in blooming here in Tokyo, too, but with yesterday's rain and today's sudden heat they will open in no time.
Your students always make such fantastic things.
BTW what is a Japanese Knot? Please teach me!
Hopefully you'll get some blossoms soon! Your stitching ladies are so creative, I love the different drawstring bags especially.
