Design Deck Monday

Today I'm showing you what's on my deck

because it doesn't fit on my wall or cutting table.

My friend's mother gave me a generous quantity of wax print  and block printed fabrics

she picked up on her international travels.

This one on the table has four of those circles,

and it measures about four metres long.

This indigo and white one is already quilted onto a blue polycotton backing.

I could live with the pre-quilting, but I'm not keen about the thin foam backing

so I may be taking the seam ripper to it and liberating the cotton from the poly.

It measures about one metre square.

And here's the whole bunch. Both the green and the pink are also a generous four metres.

I'm pre-washing these right now to get rid of any excess dye

(thanks to Shout's colourcatchers for doing a good job)

and contemplating all kinds of projects.

Most of all, I'm thankful that someone like Jeannette

who appreciates beautiful textiles

trusted me enough to send some beauties to live with me.
