Silk Ginkos


Silk Ginkos
19 1/2 x 17 3/4"
Hand Dyed Cottons and Silks
Hand and maching quilted


Slubbed silk leaf above with cotton leaf on the right.


Silk Charmeuse leaves


Hand quilted with my hand dyed pearl cotton threads.
Escape Hatch finish with machine quilting to complete the process.
Now I must pack up all my new work for my trip to Yellowknife NWT. I hope to have internet access so I can blog my trip.
What shall I knit for this long airflight of 7.5 hours, one way? I'll be figuring that out while I pack.
PS. As a blogger, I am a piker. Today the Yarn Harlot got 759 comments. How does one read them all?

    Melody, these leaf works of art are just beautiful. I've followed your art for awhile, and these are absolutely the most beautiful! It looks like the leaves are falling, and gives a very light feeling to me.

  4. Love your leaf designes, makes me want to try to do something with leaves. Fall has arrived here in california and the leaves will be turning soon. Have a safe trip.

    By the way I loved the way your neckdown pullover turned out and have sent for the same pattern. I've never knitted anything but scarves so this will be a chalange for me. I also bought the basic hat and mitten set and beginner socks. I love the knitting pure and simple patterns. This winter I will really become a knitter. thanks for posting your pullover.
