moow and handdyed fabric

And this is how Moow looks when it is finished. The leaves are attached with only a few stitches while I used raw edged applique for all the other parts. This is not my normal style of working, but I am beginning to like it more and more. Size is 20"x20" and except for the fabric for the cows all the fabrics are my handdyed ones.

Here are some pictures of fabric I dyed yesterday:

The green/yellow on the left is a bit dull, but I love the multi-colored one at the right. If you are interested in these fabrics, let me know they are for sale.

moow and fabric necklaces

This picture shows the lay-out for the quilt I am making for Pamela's 2nd lesson. In this lesson we are working with colors and optional again black and white. I choose to work with different blue/greens and browns. Last year I had bought some fabric with cow spots and it was perfect to use for this quilt.
Once a year there is a textile day (Textielplus) in the Netherlands where you can see all kind of unusual ways of using fabric. Much attention was on felting. The picture on the left shows a necklace made of felt which I bought. Other sellers had lovely necklaces as well. One of them inspired me to make the one you can see on the picture on the right. For this one I used silk cord.
