Using Dyed Cloth

I made this following an article in CPS where you dye muslin with coffee and it's turned out fine. Dyedcloth I think the secret was to stitch in a contrasting thread because my first attempt with cream thread was very bland.

    This is lovely. I really like the scribbly stitching, it works really well in the dark brown with the dyed muslin.
