Been a bit busy with things the last few days, but I have been thinking about what I might do with this piece of dyed silk. I did it in a Lesley Morgan class some time ago and here it is drying at Urchfont. It is quite a bit brighter than this in reality.
Anyone any ideas about how I could use it? Funnily enough, I can see better how to use those bits around the edges than I can the main piece! There are some lovely mixtures of colours in there.

Brilliant colours, perhaps use it in bits to highlight other work. Thought I recognised the roof and windows as Urchfont....how often do you go?

I have only been three times. Have been endless times to West Dean though and Missenden.
With the silk piece... I was wondering if I could 'improve'it with the addition of free machining?

Gorgeous fabric, Dorothy! Could you scan it into your computer and have a go at doing various things so you can play digitally first?
Or quilt along some of the lines... I was impressed with Dijanne's quilting on this dyed piece - http://origidij.blogspot.com/2006/04/rug-is-done.html
She has quilted along some of the shapes made by the dyeing in it.
Nice to chat yesterday!
Thanks Liz. Yes I saw Dijanne's piece after you and I chatted yesterday and was also very impressed.
I think I'll have a go at stitching on it..... when I can pluck up courage that is!
I really don't understand why I am being so precious about it... it's only a bit of old rag after all isn't it? grin
