A while back, @gwenbeads posted about the book “A Stitch in Line: Mathematics and One-Stitch Sashiko” by Katherine Seaton, and it was so relevant to my interests I had to get hold of it. I’ve been working through it ever since, stitching the samplers and playing with the maths.

I’m currently paused at the end of chapter 8 as I wait for new thread (Retors d’Alsace!!!) to arrive for the next sampler. Here’s a photo of all my samplers so far, done on my hand-dyed muslin scraps; my plan is to patchwork them all together into a hanging once I’ve finished.

Gwen’s review of the book is in a paywalled journal, but she’s put a link to free copies (of the review, not the book) here: https://mathstodon.xyz/@gwenbeads/114094206288896863

And for #TilingTuesday this simple #tiling with ellipse arcs.

Today a small selection, even in picture size.

I split up the three color channels and varied scaling a bit. Nice new colors emerged without any remixing. For the last two pictures, the layers of the colors are also shifted against each other.
