It makes a world of difference to be able to create hand-dyed fabrics during the day, when natural light helps with color decisions. Last week I was preparing fat quarters for a custom order, and found that I had stockpiled some white cotton squares. It was news to me. I'd forgotten that I was prepping them for the dyebath.
When I had leftover chemicals that I didn't want to waste, I made up these great cheery color squares. They are not sewn together... they are just laid out in a possible pattern for a quilt top. Buy all 9 for $40 and sew them together yourself as a weekend project. Or pick out which one you'd like for a quilt focal point, just $4 and mailing costs of $1.75. Note that these are not fat quarters... they are squares, about 21 inches.
My cute lil model is Gracie Piddlewhiskers, our Selkirk Rex female teenager cat and art muse. She's always nearby to help with art projects. Your squares will be again prewashed before mailing, so you don't have to worry about allergies.
Look for these squares at Island Retreat or via Oklahoma Food Cooperative, or email me about purchasing.
