Artist and quiltmaker Sara Larson Buscaglia invites readers to her Colorado farm to learn the secrets—and beauty—of making natural dyes and stitching natural-fiber quilts by hand.

Farm & Folk Quilt Alchemy explores natural dyeing methods and details the process of creating a quilt from scratch. With an emphasis on the slow and intentional aspects of hand stitching, Buscaglia’s quilts are artful and satisfying to create. By focusing on select dye plants and recipes, Buscaglia teaches the reader how to achieve consistent and beautiful results using traditional handwork techniques.

This book includes ten quilting projects, twenty dye color formulas, and clear skill-building instructions for traditional techniques.
