Another of Cyndi’s Lovely Art Quilts

Cyndi’s art quilts continue to entrall me.  (I must take time in my busy days to try some of her techniques with my scraps.)  Over at Layers Upon Layers, Cyndi has two posts you’ll want to check out. 

Making an Art Quilt compares techniques used in two similar quilts.  A technique she used in the beige colored piece consisted of staining with coffee.  (My daughter has used tea to dye some of her fabrics, lace, and other accessories.  I don’t think she’s tried it with coffee.)

Making a Monochromatic Art Quilt with the coffee stained pieces results in a lovely antique type piece.

The other day I posted about her September Morning quilt, Superb Creativity in an Autumn Quilt.

Have you created works of art with coffee and tea stained/dyed fabrics and accessories?  If you haven’t, you may want to give it a try, especially if you’re striving for an antique effect.
