Well I’ve finished them and I’m really happy with the way they turned out. To stuff the mat I used some polyester batting. A while back I was sent some in error and allowed to keep it for my trouble. I took the roll out of the pack and fortuitously the width of the roll was perfect to fit in the mat. I measured twice the length of the mat and then doubled the batting over. It works brilliantly.
It’s much easier to use the stool now with the mat underneath protecting my knees and ankles. The muted, slightly faded colours, fit in with the decor of my meditation room much better than that vibrant purple! The linen is so soft, having been washed hundreds of times, that the mat is really nice to kneel on.
Want to take a look? Here they are:
Here’s another photo showing the detail of the embellishment I did on the seat of the stool.
Your pieces are beautiful as well as functional. I really like the muted, restful colors enhanced as they are with Sashiko. Well done!

You should be pleased with those Munaiba, they look great. Exactly my colours too. I love any colour as long as it is brown. lol I can see also, now, how they are used. Thanks for sharing. You are very innovative with your quilting designs. I wish I had some of your talent.
take care,
Joan

Hi Munaiba
I really like the stool and mat and the way they match your carpet.
The stitching is beautifully designed and balances so well.
Congratulations

Lovely – now try a full size quilt on the same ideas. I think it would be a show stopper.

Oooh what a challenge! I’m not sure I could, as part of the charm of this is the pre-loved and fabrics.Hmm it is an interesting thought though. Thanks Jenny.

I love how they’ve turned out and the process you too to get there. The tones are very calming and it looks very soft and comfortable.
