Fiddling with Scraps: The Roots Book

 

Accordion book, 3 3/4" x 4"

Fashioned from an assortment of scraps from the Roots Project and two years of pandemic eco-dyeing, this little Roots book combines sashiko stitching, eco-dyed scraps from foliage within a one-mile radius, and the roots of native grasses. Enjoy - I know I did.

The creative surprise? How easy it turned out to be to appliqué the dried native grass roots to the cloth using teensy tiny anchoring stitches.
