I've been working away at Medallions - this photo is kinda washed out. The linen is a much richer brown (see Monday's post). I'm very pleased with how this silk thread is working on the my hand dyed linen. Sandra asked me a while back where I got the dye for my linens. I buy everything from Dharma Trading. They do ship internationally. I only use their Fiber Reactive Procion Dyes. Several years ago, I purchased their hand dyed fabric starter set - it contained everything I needed to get going. I do a low water immersion method of dyeing and the book contained in the kit tells all about it. It's really easy and super fun to make your own hand dyed linens.

The colors are so pretty.
Great progress on your stitching, I love the colours of fabric and thread. Thanks for info on the fabric dye you use, I've just been reading about somebody using a fruit tea to get a pink, so I might try that.
Gorgeous colors Margie!
I absolutely love that fabric - it is gorgeous. The HDF you chose to go with it is amazing as well. Love the color combo!
