When I was first doing any embroidery, when I was about...14(?)...I did a solid orange line all around the edge of a white tablecloth. It was rather plain... but I think I'd thought of it as the solid center line on a highway. So here's the broken line.

I don't know if this can be called sashiko really but it's my first use of my new sashiko needle, with DMC Perle cotton. I should do more of a contrast, I know... And try to be less crooked.
