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.

🍁I gathered these a few days ago, feeling like autumn was just around the corner.
And here we are in toasty hot temperatures again…😎

The sun was slipping down over this harvested field as 🐾 and I took a gentle evening stroll. 
Such peace here. 
Such a horrifically unequal world.

Wednesday’s windowsill, with a little licence. This jolly pot is not mine but it’s providing excellent service cheering up a quiet corner in Perthshire! 
I’m sitting outside a yarn shop - can’t promise I’ll leave empty handed…🧶

Took my stitching away with me. Never even took it out my bag…😳

Happily threaded a needle this evening in the company of a snoring Bruce🐾
Wednesday but…
… not actually a windowsill and not mine! I’m on a recce south of the Border but that neon pink I just had to share💕

Block prints on linen. Happy with these and now just need to set the colour before a little sample stitching commences.
