Four small hooked rugs on ironing board after steaming. Dog on floor nearby, maybe sulking for attention.
A night to steam, though Bowyn wants some non-hooking attention. It's time to get busy; I have two shows in November:

Hooked rug.
Hooked rug.
First chance to hook in a couple of weeks. Happy place. Still getting over jet lag, though.
Mostly old bedsheets, a little t-shirt, on monk's cloth.

Close up of two hands pulling a piece of fabric off of a blue inked linoleum sheet in a 1inch grid design. The fabric is from a blue Oxford shirt, the front right side of the shirt, having been cut from the garment. The press is wood and red enamel, like a clamshell that presses the lino and fabric between these two pieces of wood.
We cut our thrifted shirts out of the sewn seams so we have flat pieces of fabric to print on. Our Lino sheets are about 12”x19” to fit on our manual press bed. #printingonfabric #textileprint #surfacedesign #repurposedtextiles #thereprintery #garmentsewing #sustainabletextiles
Michelle wears a purple gingham shirt and sits at wood table with a white Juki sewing machine, photographed from standing position over her facing the back of the machine, as she sews half square triangles of two different prints, a purples stripe that has a blue dot reprinted over it, and a thin white based plaid that has a yellow stripe reprinted onto it. In the top right corner is a colorful woven basket with a knitting project peeking out the top of it.
We love to see the different prints together! This is when the magic really happens, putting one print next to the other.

We like to carve repeating patterns in small rubber blocks to print directly onto larger linoleum blocks as a fast way to transfer the design. Here is a 10.5” square Lino block that’s been printed in red ink so as to be used as a guide for where to cut the linoleum. Three linoleum cutting tools rest nearby.
The finished pattern is cut and here it is sitting on the printing table inked up in white ink. A pad of ink is rolled out to evenly print the linoleum Plate, and the roller /brayer is nearby, covered in white ink. The white ink can site open and palette knives lay next to it.
The linoleum pattern is now printed. Here dries the printed fabric. It is white fabric, repurposed bedsheets an thrifted white shirts, printed with white ink. The white on white is subtle and best seen from an angle. The seven printed fabrics are 10.5” square and are clipped with wooden clothes pins to a white wire clothes drying rack.
Carving and printing the white part of the Sonne quilt.
