I have chosen to work with one of my dyed fabrics. This one was a very dark fabric with not much contrast. Using Linda and Laura Kemshall's book "The Painted Quilt" I have taken one of their shapes. Cut out of freezer paper and pressed on to the cloth. I carefully applied thick bleach to remove the colour. I then removed the paper pattern and held the cloth under running water to stop the bleach process.
Hi my name is Lynn Naughton and I love sharing my sewing projects. I make quilts, mixed media wall hangings and all kinds of items for my home. I teach patchwork in my studio where new students will also have access to beautiful fabrics and sewing notions.
