Beth
Debby
Cordell has been busy creating beautiful totes from her fabric stash.
She used cotton sheeting which she dyed a pale blue-green. She then used five textile paint applications, in blue, cream, green, chartreuse, yellow. The internal underlining is quilted in a cross-hatch pattern for strength and the bottom is separately quilted using faux suede. The chartreuse lining is from a church banner, the green and gold beads from a Navaho bead shop in Page, Arizona, two small salmon and a turtle of hand-carved jade from an Athabascan bead shop in Fairbanks, Alaska. Perle cotton embroidery finishes the circle. The basic structure is from a McCall's sewing pattern #3308. This is for Charity.
