This is a beautiful article and so interesting how you can bring flowers that we grow to a whole different dimension and purposes. Just love the talent in the quilt making. Beautiful talent and work!

My family has a small organic farm and we are learning to have more connectivity with the land each season. This year we grew dye plants, but with all of the actual farm work I never got to spend the time using them as originally intended. I did sell many beautiful bouquets at the market! Some of our best heirlooms are the vases passed down through the family. We also have a porcelain Christmas tree from my Aunt Mary we enjoy each holiday as we think of her. I’m feeling inspired to make a quilt now!

I was recently introduced to natural plants dyes at a local woman’s farm (in southern Colorado, no less) and it feels like no coincidence that you should now be posting this. Simply – well, perhaps the processes are not so simple – beautiful.
Thank you.

I remember buying a plant dye chart long ago but only recently experimented with amarynth and marigold I grew. I bought indigo on line for another color. It’s so exciting! I resonate with your connection to the plants and not knowing the final result ahead of time. A partnership on a journey. I love your layout and pictures to learn from. I mostly want to make wearable art. This book would make a great reference and teaching guide.
Love of flowers, happy thoughts

I have been a natural dyer for years, but it is Sarah’s work with them and quilting that has inspired me to make my first quilt. So excited to read her new book !! Thanks for this peep into her process :)

Such an amazing interview! I grow lots of flowers and quilt, but never thought about combining the two. I have a quilt from my grandmother that she made and was had quilted. A very cherished memory of her and her talent.

What a beautiful interview! I loved hearing the passion Sara has for taking the risk, following her (and her husband’s) hearts and growing and creating things organically and with flowers and plants.
I am blessed to have a few of my family’s heirlooms – when I was married my Grandma made a recipe book with favorite family recipes handed down over the generations. Most recently my cousin gave my a quilt she had beautifully and painstakingly restored that my great grandmother, grandma and she had all worked on,. It too has scraps of beautiful old fabric stitched with love.

I have been a basket maker for 30 years…which just means I fell in love with all form of “craft”. I dyed my baskets with acorns and walnuts back in the day!! Oooh the maggots from the soaking process. That morphed into felting and dying felt and beads, Yada Yada Yada!! I love this blog and was able to snag seeds from you and am going to go put a look see in at the local library for the Alchemy Book!. I have one Floret book and it has been so helpful…..now someone write about deterring beasts and bugs and oh my beloved birds which need to stop tearing everything up!! Good day to all!
