Starting with small swatches of my dyed and painted fabrics, then hand stitching each to vintage family linens. Each one with a different fabric and unique stitching design, letting the variety and diverse color combinations create their own composition. I stopped at 108 individual little art works, then hand stitched them together on felt, backed with more dye painted fabrics. It ended up 570 inches long! This collection can be hung on a wall, suspended, or displayed coiled on a surface.
