Toki, who blogs at私がめがねをかけるとき, and I are both stitching this kogin piece. (She blogs in Japanese, but there is a translation button on the top left under the title, if you don’t read Japanese.) Check out her progress!
I finished Spring and started Summer. The colors for summer are light blue and orange, with blue and yellow for complementing colors. (If you have the book, the pattern is A1 on page 90. )
For the main colors of light blue and orange, I am using this "1 chi" Japanese thread.
Summertime Mt. Fuji progress - I added a bridge across the water at the shrine, and worked on the pine tree.
Pamela: This Kogin piece is lovely I like both the fabrics you chose and what Toki chose two very different looks, Mount Fuji is looking great, lovely idea to stitch a panel like this.
Your Koginzashi”Spring“ is so gorgeous. It's sewn very beautiful. I'm also looking forward to”Summer“.I will also be sewing”Summer“from tomorrow. The work of Mt.Fuji remember me of sketching sessions when I was a child.

An unusual week - no cross-stitch! The Kogin is coming along nicely and the Shizuoka landscape is getting clearer and more detailed.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see the thread for your Kogin piece. It looks like it might be a little similar to DMC Floche.
