Packs of six natural fibre fabric squares for you to enjoy

All pieces are approximately 25cm x 25cm.

The fabrics are mostly cotton or linen and vary from heavy weight to light dressweight.

The African batiks are often cotton damask so they have a lovely texture and drape. Please be aware that the wax prints will feel stiff from wax residue. Iron between layers of scrap paper or fabric to remove excess wax and/or soak in hot water.

Many of the designs have a larger repeat so will appear differently between packs. They are mostly handpainted or handprinted so are gloriously free flowing and colourful - full of joie de vivre and asking to be used in bold ways.

Stitching at the kitchen table tonight. 
Small project, wonky stitches, no rules.
Finally finished the simplest shawl(ette) and it’s off for a wee bath. May show it off when it’s blocked🤗
Just before the heavens opened on us. 
Again!
Morning walks with Bruce🐾
🤗🧵❤️
New bundles in the shop! 
Lots of blues, lots of birds - bit of a theme…
Each bundle is a one-off mix of fabrics, threads and finished items - often sample pieces I’ve made - and always a little extra tucked in the box too😘

Wednesday windowsill - garden gleanings and my own wee stash of hand dyed threads from favourite dyers🧵🤗🧵

A coffee break with slow knitting. 
My new mug from recent travels perfectly captures west coast beach colours on a sunny day🤗

Sunday morning chillin’
Back from a mini trip to Oban, Mull and Iona where the air was fresh, and the skies clear (most days). 
Walked along shorelines and past fields full of wildflowers, watched sunsets across calm waters, took four ferries, tested cake assiduously, and acquired a little yarn.

Most importantly I made great connections for future @rowantreetravel tours🤗
