WIP - Bjorkboda
Found while cleaning my sewing studio this afternoon, buried in a pile o UFO's (Unfinished Objects or in my case Projects!)
I remember now why I put it away, I started attaching stuff to the surface and then got stuck. I may have to rip it all off now and try something different.

The techniques I used to create this piece are covered in my eBook Rust and Clay Dyeing which can be purchased here.

Patternless Skirt
Almost finished, the waste band and hem are next.
Natural, Indigo, and Rust dyed cotton muslin fabric.
It should have taken 45 minutes to construct from start to finish but since I accidentally sewed it together (wrong sides) twice it took about two hours! So I decided I'll finish the waste band tomorrow and think about how I want to finish the hem.

Fall Colours
September is drawing to an end, so thought I would post some fall colours!
Rust on hand dyed cotton fabric.
I do believe I dyed this with MX dyes back around 1994, before I became allergic. Anyway, I love the colors of this piece, as the leaves start to change I will take some photos, do some color studies and use some of this fabric as it's wanting to be stitched and oh so badly.

WIP's - Sandstone Series
This Sandstone piece has been in a bucket for the past decade, every once in awhile I dig it out and stare it it on my design wall (in my case my design wall is a bookshelf). Today's it's day, I've decided to seperate the two pieces of fabric and overdye the top piece with kutch, and maybe some kamala.
Detail, the reddish fabric is cochineal and rust dyed silk fabric.
Another Sandstone WIP that has been languishing in the storage bucket for the past 10+ years. It's mostly hand stitching on the surface, tonight I have plans to add some machine stitching and possibly a few layers of constructed cloth. This piece is small enough to experiment with pushing the surface.

WIP - Bjorkboda 090412
Now with more hand stitching, and still plugging along! I've missed several deadlines but at this point I don't care anymore, I have a vision for this piece and I want that vision to come to life but not in some half hearted fashion.
In the mean time I'm contemplating dyeing some threads, for hand stitching, for this piece. I still have the silk layer and the pieces of scrim that were dyed along with these layers and am thinking of starting a second piece for a new series.

Untitled WIP
Natural dye painted and rusted silk organza over cochineal dyed wool batting.
I'm off on a couple of tangents, now that I know I won't be entering Quilt National. Hopefully the next time QN rolls around they will have either changed the image requirements, of 300DPI or I will have a new camera capable of taking that high quality images. Until then I'm content working in my studio.

WIP - Bjorkboda
I'm almost ready for the hand stitching, I filled in a bit more of the piece with machine stitching to reinforce it's structure.
The forgotten dye note text now dealt with which resulted in more brown scraggly stitching being added to the piece in a random manner.
Some verticles.
I've started thinking about the cottonwoods and how stoic they look when shrouded in the ice fog of deep winter.
