There is a love affair going on between me an Australian fabrics. I not only love the palate but also the aboriginal designs. So far I have made a runner and a wall hanging and today it was coiled fabric bowl time. The first order of business is what other fabrics was I going to use with this Australian fabric which is called Bush Yam. I picked out a scrap I had left over from another project which so PERFECTLY matched the green in the yam fabric. I also had a small amount of the kangaroo fabric which appear in both the runner and wall hanging...just enough for a small stripe in the bowl and it matched the yam color...how nice! There is a lot to things to think before one starts a bowl; the size, the shape, the # of fabrics and where they will appear, thickness of the rope and ALSO...what thread.
