I’m starting the new year with a giveaway designed to grow my email list and blog subscribers. Enter for a chance to win the 10×64” katazome (stencil-dyed) runner pictured below. The runner features my garden-inspired Meadow Rue pattern. It’s 100% linen, made from a reclaimed linen damask tablecloth, and is hand-dyed with natural pigment dyes in graduated green, teal and indigo tones. I brush the dyes on in 3 separate coats, drying the work between each coat.

I am so glad I found your blog! Thanks to threadspider! BEAUTIFUL cloth so of course I put you on my google reader/rss feed. Sign me up!!
Kit, I’m trying to remember which class you took from John. I’m sure he’s so very pleased with your work. I weave most of my katazome cloth so it’s a very long process. I go over to Covelo almost every year, so maybe I’ll see you this summer. Dotty
oops! It erased my comment! I’m wondering which year you were in Covelo (3-4 years ago?). Maybe I’ll see you there this summer. I’m sure John is very pleased with your wonderful work.
Dotty – I think it requires me to approve the first comment you make … after that you are able to post anytime! I took the beginning katazome in 2004, and I remember your lovely weaving and you pasted a stencil design that looked like a giant ball of yarn (spool?), and then you indigo dyed the cloth…right? Anyway thanks for visiting and you’re in the drawing!
Hi Kit -I think I’m already on your e-mail list. This runner, like all your work, is gorgeous! I love the interaction of the stencil design with what appears to be the pattern in the linen. Please sign me up for the giveaway!
Thanks, Amy – you’re in!
I think I’m already on your contact lists. Hopefully.
I love these! You are such a wonderful artist!!!
I love your work and signed up to subscribe. I am a little frustrated in that It said that I would receive an e-mail to verify my e-mail. That doesn’t seem to happen. You do not have an e-mail listed so I don’t know how to fix this glitch. HELP!!!!
