Iris-dyed cotton lawn

Two sections cut from too-long shirts. I had to photograph them against white paper to show the color. It's delicate, green, with pinkish areas here and there. It looks more brown in the picture.



This will be a good addition to the piecing collection.



And in the course of organizing my small fabric stash, I found more silk pieces that can join the collection for the wall hanging.

Now I'm deciding what color to dye the linen piece I mordanted along with the cotton.

    Silk has to be my favourite fabric, particularly dupioni. I like to just fondle it. You have an interesting assortment of colours.

    I like the silk chiffon best, I think. About as close as you can get to invisible while still being able to stitch it.
