Beautiful Batiks

Was at the sewing machine all afternoon yesterday.


It's getting bigger by the day and I'm cutting more strips.  I'm thinking of doing a Freddy Moran and filling in with black and white to rest the eye.  It depends on how big it gets!

A lot of these fabrics came from Julie and Wanda sent me a few strips from  her precious batik stash.  It's still breaking my heart as batiks are scarce in France.

Hope I manage to find some in the UK.

Another kitty photo.


I reckon they'll be out of their cage by the end of today!

More soon.

Black and white sounds like a great idea - will let your colours shine. Good luck with the batik hunting :-)

Oh yes....I.LIKE.

Some black here and there would be perfect Clare!
Have you seen Wanda's quilt she posted this morning? She used a black/white print that looks pretty good. She laid hers out in several different styles.
