Summer Day

Today's postcard

My new Summers Day quilt is made from fabric from my batik class, batiking combined with shobori dyeing. I wanted the effect of a bright sunlight shining through trees.



I'm feeling pretty darn happy because when I needed a bright green for the binding I could quickly dye it.
I have the chance to take an advanced shibori task and I'm torn. I love shibori and am drawn toward making little pleats and stitched designs to end up with something wonderful. I don't care for wrapping fabrics around jugs or poles, though, and I really don't care for dyeing on silk. I think I'll skip the class and take off on my own.
