I am trying to use up some of my hand dyed fabric and love the iris flower. The first one is quilted first and then shaded with ink. I was trying for a dreamy Monet's garden look.

As always, I love to share my patterns, just pm me with information.

Couldn't decide which I liked best so .............. the first one is the best watercolor one! and the second is the best stained glass one!

Have you posted how you dye your fabric? My first attempt was rather sad---colors looked rather murky. Your fabric is fantastic.

Iris are easy to grow. All they need is a lot of sun and no wet feet. Treat yourself and plant one.

Beautiful. You did a great job.

Ah! You always have such neat things that you do. I really like these too.

They both are beautiful.
