Indigo #3
18 3/4"w x 39 1/2"long [47.5cm x 100.5cm]
I have enjoyed combining 3 panels of indigo dyed cotton that I stitched before immersion, creating a resist pattern. This pattern is further enhance with hand stitching in white and red. The white prints use the abundant weeds I found in my garden. They grew unchecked while I was away in Mongolia.
Materials: cotton, indigo dye, textile ink, batting, threads
Techniques: hand dyed, hand printed, hand stitched, machine pieced, machine quilted.
This is wonderful, Sue, the wispy flower prints and the red stitching. I'm interested in trying the indigo process sometime. It produces such wonderful colors. It was a wonderful idea for a challenge!
ReplyDeleteWow, what gorgeous colors. I love the bits of red sprinkled in, too.
ReplyDeleteGee, you got real color. I'm jealous. It is beautiful...great answer to the challenge.
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane, Kate & Martha. To tell you I wanted deep, deep indigo would be ungracious! More to try next time with indigo- I see why it us such an addictive colour.
