I'm hooked! This is my first quilt with botanically dyed fabric. It's wholecloth, measures 13 x 14.5 inches, and has a layer of thin cotton batting between the front and back. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed working on this piece. I know it's the combination of handstitching on old linen that was naturally dyed with plant materials. The perfect confluence of elements.
I understand, now, what I think must be the essence of the Slow Cloth movement ~ developing an intimate relationship with a piece of cloth.
More work like this already planned.
