Sea Urchin - sashiko

This was fiendishly complicated to understand how to draw up and sew.. but now it is done I really like the patterns and it would definitely reinforce any fabric it was stitched on. However I am glad I had nothing to do today as it took me 5 hours (with a few short breaks) to complete it!!!  
It has been a creative day in the house as my daughter was sewing a project for a friend and my husband was putting up new outdoor solar lights and finishing creating his Christmas present train construction. 
Now for a relaxing evening.. shredding.. (part of the clear out challenge)
