Hope it's of some help. I did a 1-day class with Nancy Shreiber several
years ago - and that same month she had the cover feature in Threads.
Personally, I'm not much of a sashiko buff, but as they say - I have friends
that are....OTOH, Nancy is a fabulously talented seamstress, designer, and
teaches classes here in the arts of Japanese clothing, sashiko, etc. As I
said, LMK if I can send you something - I can check some of my books and see
what I have.


Thanks ellice. This is likly the only sashiko piece I'm ever going to
make, and is not going to be large, so I didn't want to spend anything
on books or patterns. I'll look around a bit more. As I said I have a
star pattern which might do - I might sit down this weekend and try
drafting out a snowflake pattern using it as a base. If that doesn't
work I might send out a distress call in your general direction.


I do remember that. It's such a drilled in your head thing here -
especially for exams. OTOH, it's so important to know when to be gloving,
etc.>
OUCH. Poor woman and daughter. But no doubt that is quite effective. It's
been interesting working in the ER here. I do a lot of IV starts and blood
draws (procedure here to get the bloods for the labs when you set up the IV
line). For medic procedures you always, always, always, glove when you're
finally at the sticking the patient point - yet I've worked with some nurses
who don't glove at all, which is okay - as long as you don't ever touch the
catheter (even with gloves). OTOH, I had to leave the room with one patient
as an older (very nice) nurse, new to the Peds ER, came in and wanted to do
the IV herself - and she had a hard time - had way too much catheter hanging
out there - and then she gets the same age, cranky nurse to help her - and
they're both screwing around. Personally - I had already said to her - just
pull it out, and go somewhere else as this is hurting the patient, and the
vein's blown. I couldn't believe it was so careless with the cleanliness
issue. (Oh, the catheter on modern IV sets is the little plastic tube -
teeny thing - that stays in you. There's a needle inside, and once in the
needle is retracted and just the plastic sleeve stays - less painful for
patient, etc).

Let's just say she's on a mission. Another problem she has been
encountering with students who don't change their gloves. Protects the
student nurse OK, but doesn't do much for the patient.
