Gunnr's Quilt...

In September I started a Quilt for Gunnr...

You can watch Gunnr and I make the quilt by

CLICKING HERE

I put lots of quilting stitches in it so it would 

be sturdy and hold up well...

Gunnr absolutely adores his Quilt!

He sleeps under it each night...

He sleeps under it in the back seat of the pick up

on the way to town...

He takes naps with it during the day...

He even wears it around the house...

This is a well loved Quilt!

As a quilter, it is so satisfying to create a quilt

for that special someone who really appreciates it!

Out in the back yard.....early morning:

The fog hasn't lifted yet this morning...

but I can still see the grape arbor glowing!

The grape leaves are really putting on a show...

We are having a gorgeous autumn 

here in Western Oregon

Soy Wax Class...

Saturday I spent the day leading a class in

Soy Wax Batik

Soy Wax Tools...

Heating up the Soy Wax 

before the students arrived...

After a quick demo showing the students

how to use the tools...

the students were getting down....with the wax!

The Tjanting tool was popular throughout the day...

After waxing....it was time to choose paint:

Pebeo Setacolor Textile Paints

1 part paint to 3 or 4 parts water...

You can see the wax resists the paint...

Found Objects from around the house...

Soy Wax on Fabric......Before Painting

Soy Wax on Fabric.......After Painting

The students will air dry their fabrics at home...

Then heat-set the textile paint the next day...

Soy Wax Batik Surface Design Technique.....FUN!
