purples

I picked this beautiful bouquet from my garden last Saturday, perfect for photographing purples.

I am in pursuit of the perfect purple, which is hard to reproduce.

 These items are in my West Branch shop, and the pillows are also in my  online store.

This is the fabric I showed you here
I may list it on on my etsy store in the near future.  It will be my most expensive fabric yet!
It is in my West Branch store on Saturday's 11-4.

Isn't this great!  It is made of dyed tyvek.  This bracelet is the work of Carol-lynn Swol.

Back when I used to make clothing, I did a series of garments made from old quilt blocks which I pieced, printed, dyed and quilted.
