Working with Nettles from the garden - Travailler avec des orties du jardin

All with Nettles: dyeing on cotton, linen, wool (fleece and hand-spun), and hemp. Nettles from my garden: hand-spun, plied, and braided. Waiting for nettles to be a little taller, there is a lot to learn about nettle spinning, getting the fiber, making paper, and weaving fabric. I have to continue practicing.

Postage Stamps Quilt

Postage Stamps Quilt: I tried quilting and it worked, but I found it had too much information (so many fabrics, colors, and printing). So I finally decided to tie it (DMC #8 thread, 2 strands).
