Working on a layout - I kinda like it (black velvet, green silk); but if I keep going in this way, I'm going to end up with a queen sized art quilt. (!)

It's already 49 x 41 inches and I envision another three squares this size...

Over the long weekend (it was Canada Day here on Friday) BSP asked me to make some new cat quilts for the babies.

I can't imagine why!

Are you ready for the big reveal? A little sneak peek before the jump: the vegetable matter and a hint of the glorious colour to come.

Welcome to my backwards post!

Although I have not yet purchased India Flint's book Eco Colour (nor have I purchased her follow-up - Second Skin); I did attend a talk by her last year, and from what I remember, it seemed the process was as follows: grab some plants, roll 'em up tight in cotton, silk, wool or other natural fibers, cook 'em, and let them hang around for awhile. Open them up and be amazed and astounded by their beauty!
