Since I got back from St Ives I have been working on my quilt for Another Little Quilt Swap organised by Kate North. The sides of the quilt had to measure between 18 and 24 inches. I decided to make mine 20 inches square and I dyed some cotton fabric with indigo coloured procion dye for the base. I folded the fabric in the dye bath so that it dyed unevenly. I stencilled and printed on the fabric with Markal paint sticks and Lumierre paints using lots of different sized circles. The piece was then embroidered with hand dyed threads, beaded, layered and hand quilted.
I backed the quilt with a piece of space dyed cotton.
This is a close up of some of the embroidery and printing. Some of the circles are filled with sequins, beads and covered washers.
