Here is a photo of the border (its not sewn on yet, this was just a mock up until the fabric dries). In several of the blocks, I used other techniques that I learned including silk screening and dye discharge.

Playing with Paintstiks
I spent the morning working with Shiva Paintstiks to make a border for a quilt I am working on. I am enjoying using the surface design techniques that I learned in our workshop a few months ago. I sometimes find it difficult to shop for fabric that is really going to satisfy what I have in mind for certain projects. Instead of going to five or six quilt shops looking for something that I like, I find it easier just to make something.
Here is a photo of the border (its not sewn on yet, this was just a mock up until the fabric dries). In several of the blocks, I used other techniques that I learned including silk screening and dye discharge.
I'd love to hear what others are working on - please feel free to comment or post. If you have questions about how to do it, please email me.
