Quilters ,natural pigments and fine crochet .


 


 Debby had taken a course with Susannah Crook www,susannahcrook.com on  using Natural pigments .


They created a colour palette then explored using it by using thin and thick ,mixing and mark making .Some lovely earthy tones.



She and Fumi had both created little samples in  a Quilters Guild challenge .Each had been given a postcard size piece of Shute Lane fabric and invited to ‘make it their own’. Debby had an owl and had added a feather appliqué and worked into the fabric with Inktense pencils then stitched and created an edge to finish.


Fumi stitched each leaf by hand to quilt the surface  and added a lacy edge.She has a tiny mouse in the bottom right corner.


Fumi had been doing more teeny crochet ,creating a sleeve to house a piece of slate from the Lake District  and finishing with a tiny fern. 




She had also made this small pouch with added embroidery. Please excuse the out of focus!
