The I Spy fabrics that I showed a couple days ago were for a trade with the lovely Laura from Artfabrik. If you have never been to her blog you need to visit. She has written a couple books, the latest one about using hand embroidery stitches to embellish fused quilts. I met Laura way back when. She was a garment maker and had just made her first quilts. We're talking early 1990s. She is now a famous lady who travels all over the world to share her techniques.
I chose mostly small pieces of her hand dyed fabric for the trade. A lot of them are strips about 2" wide. The stiffness from all of my digging caught up with me though so I didn't do anything after I returned home from our lunch at Smashburger's.
Ooh....you certainly chose a good partner to trade with. Laura's fabrics have lovely color variations. Ha ha. I think you know all the best fabric dye artists!
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful selections. I hope you feel better today.
ReplyDeletethose are lovely fabrics, I will check out the link you gave. Gardening is hard work!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty fabrics. I am sure you will make something wonderful from them.
ReplyDeleteTo quote what John Dunbar told Wind in His Hair - "good trade". Keep moving to work out that stiffness and a couple of Excedrine wouldn't hurt! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful fabrics. Looking forward to seeing you have fun with those.
ReplyDeleteI visited Laura's blog. I will look for her latest book of house blocks.
My goodness. You spent too much time playing outside in the dirt. Maybe take a day off and rest those muscles.
Oooooh....so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous fabrics you got in the trade!
ReplyDeleteHope you're feeling better today.
Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLove Artfabrik, and these fabrics... yum! I would loooove to get such a package in the mail, what fun stuff to play with!
ReplyDeleteWanda I think I got the better part of the fabric trade. The I Spy fabrics are all spread out on my design table and I'm playing with them like a kid with a new toy. It was so good to see you again. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNow Laura's blog certainly will go into my "Bookmarks" I enjoyed her blog almost as much as I do yours. I said, almost Wanda.
ReplyDeleteHer fabrics are a joy to look at.
Hey... hang in there with your sore muscles or practice your daily squats all winter long so in the spring you will be ahead of the gardening game. (*._,*)
