For this challenge quilt: Leave Your Mark I chose to leave marks in several ways on white cotton fabric. First I stitched the fabric for shibori. Then I dyed it in an indigo vat and pulled out the stitching when it was rinsed and dried and dyed the peach fabric using MX procion dyes. The quilting marks on the blue fabric were added with indigo-dyed rayon embroidery thread. Altogether a very satisfying way to leave marks.
A gorgeous selections of blues. The seed stitching must have taken hours, but it creates lovely textures, both visual and literal.
ReplyDeleteJudy, this is lovely, the marks, colours and stitching fit together so well, it's gorgeous

ReplyDeleteBulleye's, Judy! Love the idea of multiple marks all joined into one expression.
ReplyDeleteI like shibori in the center and especially on the border! And what a great facture you got with hand stitches!
ReplyDeleteOh I do love an indigo vat! I wish I could have been there with you on "dye day". Lovely work.
