Kitambaa: The Seeds of an Idea for an Indigo Quilt
http://kitambaa.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-seeds-of-idea-for-indigo-quilt.html
Musings on my textile journey, and on life. Monday, May 25, 2015. The Seeds of an Idea for an Indigo Quilt. Then I pulled out these delicious perle cottons from Colour Complements (find them on Etsy). Lorraine lives on the Sunshine Coast and her work, especially the variegated cottons, are marvellous. They look so striking with the blues, don't you think? Then I added in a piece of hand-dyed cotton I'd purchased from Ricky Tims eons ago, and started making some tall skinny units, and some "blossom" units.

Roses on the Water: Woven Embroidery
http://rosesonthewater.blogspot.com/2012/08/woven-embroidery.html
Roses on the Water. Sharing my love of crazy quilting, silk ribbon embroidery, and beading. Saturday, August 11, 2012. I'm always looking for a new embroidery design and recently found this while searching the internet. I'm sure I haven't done it exactly right but I do like the look of the woven threads. I've used an awl to make a hole for the shank of the button. A 1/4" plastic ring secures it on the reverse side and allows the button to lie flush against the fabric. El Desván de la Gata Perezosa.

Kitambaa: Fibre Art Voices
http://kitambaa.blogspot.com/2015/06/fibre-art-voices.html
Musings on my textile journey, and on life. Thursday, June 25, 2015. The benefits of being part of a small group like this are enormous - lots of encouragement, opportunities for critique, challenges as to "what if . . ? And the camaraderie of like-minded friends. Oh yes, and good food and drink shared along with lots of stories and laughter. A collection of work based on our indigo fabrics . . . Margaret with a piece of fabric freshly dipped in the indigo vat. So then we spread the pieces on the grass.
