The fabric for this quilt was dyed at a workshop with Nicky Perrington, using a brights palette and lots of plastic bags!It was my first attempt at dying fabric and I was really pleased with the result. I think the design looks like a church window and the colours are really jewel-like. The tassels on the corners are made from hand spun variegated yarn.
This close up of one of the tassels, shows the hand stitched head with the coloured slubs in the thread pulled out for effect.
“Colours to Dye For” was made in 2002
