Post Crow Barn quilt


I am back from my trip to the Nancy Crow Barn in Columbus Ohio. What a great Shibori class with Jan Meyer Newbury. I have many more ways of mark making on fabric now. I was number 13 out of 21 and it was a good number for me.

This is a picture of the wall hanging that i came home with made from fabrics i had dyed using mostly clamp resist. Yesterday i spent quite a bit of time taking it all apart and redoing it.

You can see from the strips hanging down from behind it that i was thinking that strips between each section was the right way to go. I was unanimously voted down. Since i am so new at designing i thought i would take their advice and give it a try. I am adding one new strip of "windows" and lengthening each piece so the width and length are balanced.

Once i get it all sewn back together, I'll post a finished picture.
