Back in June when we were in Basel, Don and I were waiting for Joan at the Bahnhof waiting for Joan to arrive ahead of travelling to Spiez together.

I looked up – and was dazzled and inspired by the repetition of shapes the window panes.

And I thought … this would make a really cool sashiko pattern. And it has been bouncing around in my head since.

Very preliminary, very sketchy, feasibility sketch, taped up next to my desk

I still need to enlarge and tidy the sketch, acquire fabric and work out a transfer method.

The idea is to take along on our Summer/Winter vacation as my holiday stitching project.
