Quilts

Surface design on cloth is a passion of mine, I use most any technique and have been known to make techniques up on the fly. My primary media in surface designing cloth is either Procion MX dye and/or textile paints, and I will often use these in combination with freezer paper, soy wax, stencils and stamps.
