Eco-printing is a technique where plants, leaves and flowers leave their shapes, color, and marks on fabric. Plant material bundled inside of cloth is steamed or boiled to release the dye found naturally inside the plant, creating a contact print in the shape of the leaf or flower used. The results are exceptional and unpredictable which make them an exciting and unique art form!

This table runner was created in many steps, using fresh leaves. Each one is unique and takes several days to dye the fabric before starting to quilt.

This runner was eco-printed with three different types of eucalyptus leaves collected in Northern California. Fabric is 100% cotton. Runner is backed in green matching leaf pattern fabric, trimmed in ecru green, and quilted in a stipple pattern (crazy quilt).

Measures 15 inches x 69 inches.
