Taking advantage of a sunny day

I had a pack of 5 inch squares that I had purchased for a donation quilt so I spent some sewing time getting it this far. I need to add some borders to make it a bit larger.

 We've had sunshine and unlike many parts of the country it's been quite warm (at least for January). I took advantage of that sunshine, used some black solar fast and printed a few leaves. At least one of them will show up soon as a weekly leaf.

The top two are on vintage silk drapery fabric, beige on the left and pink on the right. The bottom one is on a handed gold cotton. These were in my pile of fabrics that I keep ready to print, all torn to size and ready to go.

Project progress

This week all I have to share is the progress I've made on my projects. I've had lots of things going on outside of the studio so my projects were all that got worked on. Tomorrow I'm going ice skating with a friend, something I haven't done in about 20 years, my skates are dusted off and I'm ready to give it a try.

2019 Weekly leaf week #4
 This week I found an old Solarfast print, I think this was one of the first ones that I did. There are two different colors on a pale yellow hand dye.
