Madder Root Class

I have changed the opening date to the Mad at About Madder Root Class to June 3rd as many of you won't be able to join the class until after that time. I am looking forward to the class!  For those of you that don't want to sign up for the class I am creating a bundle that can be purchased through my website, the cost of that bundle will be higher than the class.

Happy New Year & A Wall Hanging with my Rust Dye Fabric

  I wanted to share with you a piece I completed last year around first of september. I am really happy with it. The middle panel is one of my rust dyed peces on cotton. The two sides are quilt blocks. My waterfall and water, trees, bear are needle felted with silk noil and wool rovings.

 

   I hope to be more active here this coming year and learn from what everyone is dying and creating here.

Happy New Year all…
