Textile Postcard Project Week #56


October 21st -27th 2018

Week #56 --whole postcard


Desert Dynamics quilt 'Dynamics M'





I made this small quilt in 2008. It was part of a series called 'Desert Dynamics'. The postcard this week is a small section of the whole. The inspiration was taken from the beautiful flowers of the deserts of Western Australia. I used cotton fabric which I had dyed with Procian dyes. The variety of colour was most applicable to a desert scene. A variety of threads were sewn by machine and by hand. The background fabric is cotton appropriately dyed a desert/ sand colour.
