I just finished my 1st panel for @25millionstitches using the sashiko technique I learned this August from Atsushi (Azu) Futatsuya of @upcyclestitches @Loop of the Loom in NYC. 25 MILLION STITCHES – ONE STITCH FOR EACH OF THE 25 MILLION REFUGEES
The world is in flight. 25 million people across the globe have been forced to flee their homelands as a consequence of genocide, war, poverty, natural disasters, targeted violence, and other grave threats. They leave behind everything they’ve known, possessed, and been a part of in order to live; they face immense struggles, misfortunes, and perils on their journey; and, though it all, survival, much less successful resettlement, remains but the slimmest hope. #sashiko #25millionstitches #fiberguildofthesavannahs #embroidery #standwithrefugees #25millionstitchessavannahandthelowcountry
