I am in the process of designing a quilt for the Portland Oregon quilt show 2015. The theme for the quilt is anything beach or coastal. I have several photos of the southern peninsula in Washington state which are sources of inspiration. Below is a photo of Bard-Heim Dairy barn once located on property in Oysterville where my brother and sister-in-law now reside. They live on the west side of Willapa Bay, a beautiful area, rich in history.
I used a photo of the Bard-Heim Dairy barn for inspiration in creating a replica on fabric. The fabric paint used is
Jacquard's Dye-na-Flow. The paint results in a water color look on fiber. The colors are amazingly bright and vibrant even when used on beige muslin. All in all I enjoyed experimenting with this, new to me, product. Machine stitched thread outlines and adds a bit of color to the painted fabric. The threads used are cotton 40 and 12 weight.
