I have been having so much fun making fabric pumpkins that I decided to make another batch (or patch?!). This batch required more work and the embellishments were quite costly but the finished product is just what I had hoped for! The fabric came from a 93 year old lady's "stash" and was gifted to my Sister by her friend. My Sister sent me quite a bit but it's almost gone now! The fabric is raw hand woven silk from India. It is so unique with little nubby's of color throughout. I dyed the fabric with wine colored dye and then washed, rinsed and dried it in the sun. It came out a beautiful purplish/rusty color with wine undertones. One piece of fabric was pulled from the dye early and it turned out marine blue and burnt orange. Looks like Autumn - my favorite Season! Well, I guess it's time to get back to the bears. A gallery of four little ones will be coming on September 12th, so nose to the grindstone! Have a safe and fun Labor Day Weekend! Hugs & Blessings, Janice
