Red Quilt

I finished my scrappy Red Quilt.  The centre I made in a Nancy Crow class in New Zealand and the inspiration for the medallion came from a class with Gwen Marston.  It is improvisationally pieced except for the borders.

It is 43 inches square.   It makes me happy cheers Rebecca

Autumn in the Vineyard - journal challenge

The latest challenge topic for our 8 by 8 group was "Autumn in the Vineyard".  I had fun using sun paints to do leaf prints, some of my hand dyes and using some of my deconstructed screen printing fabric.  I did minimal machine quilting (plan to work on my skills in this area) and I added hand stitching using my own hand dyed threads which were procion dyed when I was dyeing some of the fabric I used.

The thermofax prints are from a drawing of a leaf in our front yard.
cheers Rebecca

Fabric Postcards

I am in a postcard swap with some friends in New Zealand - my latest postcards were hand painted and printed and machine embroidered.  The postcard was inspired by my daily walk around the Lake near my house.

take care Rebecca
