tula tuesday::week 32

 block number 73

from tula pink's

city sampler

100 modern quilt blocks.

stitched with more homegrown, hand dyed indigo.

before the dye bath,

i ran a few lines of twisted running stitches,

pulled them up tight and knotted each line.

this created the "resist".

after the fabric was dyed, rested and rinsed,

i snipped the stitches, flattened the fabric out

and pressed it.

the birch fabric is one of my top ten favorite prints of all time.

but you already knew that.

:-)

this fabulous september sky

provided the inspiration.
