I reel the cocoons and weave material on old Japanese looms and using old tools. I have been growing indigo for almost twenty years and always have a vat going. I have made some quilts with traditional Japanese textiles and with scraps of indigo I have dyed myself. I want to work more on designing stencils and using them to dye cloth that will…

Crumb blocks
Anyone make crumb blocks from their scraps? Make enough crumb blocks to make a quilt? Got any pictures?
I have a bin of triangles, cuttings, and strips of asian fabrics that I decided this week to try and make some crumb blocks, or maybe a mile-a-minute blocks.

Not sure how I am going to put these together,…

Ok. Maybe this blog is more of vent, but I have just saved 2 quilt tops and 2 sets of orphan blocks and working on more.

I showed the pieces to a quilter and my quilting friends and we have all concluded that it would have taken 3 years…

newest project
Trying my hand at a "stack n' whack". I have completed 3 squares so far. Anxious to complete a quilt. Want to try my hand at actually free-hand quilting. Does anyone know or have any experience with John Flynn's frame system? (flynnquilt.com)

My Quip - Cathedral Windows Design - Tetrishead
At times music inspires me to create in fabric that which I would like to convey. I have always been particular to the sounds and ambiences of the Cello. I stumbled upon Zoë Keating, originally from Guelph, Ontario, Canada, and her composition, Tetrishead. Her music is as stated at Stuck Between Stations “works well in the foreground as it does in the… Continue
