fabrics: hand dyed from stash, background is woven

binding:   hand dyed scraps

inspiration:  

For Project Quilting 2015 challenge 2 I pulled all sunrise/ sunset hand dyed from stash.  Thinking about doing strips that became hst.  thinking of how the sky looks when kayaking in Canada.  

Hand dyes from the 1990s, some made my me some purchased from Sherry Wood

I subcut the strip sets but then decided to turn them into hst

Sofia helped with the layout of the HST

Using the yellow 40wt Aurfil made the quilting really stand out.  I am please enough to put it into the living room quilt display lineup.

keep dreaming...Colleen

Its tiring for Sofiasewing and quilting all day.
