I wonder how the process would work using black fabric and discharge? I love how each of the quilts makes me want to experiment and try new things! And all that hand stitching, I just love it. I love the variation created by the varigated thread.Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561464255559358535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519632209878236029.post-27261169570797977742009-10-01T16:38:23.049-07:002009-10-01T16:38:23.049-07:00The handstitching adds wonderful texture, and this...The handstitching adds wonderful texture, and this piece is so graphic.

The dice are wonderful -- thanks for explaining how you got those clean circles! And the graphic strength of those dice are complimented perfectly by that stitched background! Wow -- wonderful handwork.
