Sashiko Stitching Complete

Today was the fourth day of our Zen Stitching online class. I did today's stitching during the live Zoom meeting. The diagonals crossed the crosses.

Tomorrow the instructions will be to wash and press the finished item. I still need to do the backstitching all around 1/4" away from the stitching; shown by the white drawn line on the front.

My range hood finally got installed and the two tiles grouted. That completes my kitchen renovation. I was too involved in my crafting to wipe the fingerprints off the range hood and tidy up the kitchen to take some photos. Perhaps tomorrow.

What I did work on most of the day was 4 more granny squares on the Persian Tiles project. 6 down, 3 to go.
I should be able to finish the last four tonight and tomorrow and start in on the octagons. I did a practice one and got as far as the fans before abandoning it when the actual yarn arrived. Once the crocheting is done, sewing everything together will be a herculean task. I'm thinking of doing a hidden join - kinda like the mattress stitch or ladder stitch which will pull the edges together but not make a ridge.
