A brilliant collection of hand-painted variegated silk threads and ribbon for your quilting, stitching and embroidery.

The result of a collaboration between internationally known fibre artist Judith Baker Montano and Treenway Silks, this seductive variety of rich, soft, vibrant and dusky colourways was created created by drawing from Treenway's palette of 100 hand–dyed colours. Colour changes occur at 1½ to 2 inch intervals which produce painterly colour sequences.

There are a total of 74 colourways and all colours are handpainted with care – however, some variation between dye lots can be expected.

Each colourway comes in 10 yard lengths of silk thread and 5 yard lengths of silk ribbon. Available in 3 types of silk thread and 3.5mm silk ribbon.

All the Montano colourways mix perfectly with Treenway's palette of 100 hand–dyed solid colours available in 10 yard lengths of silk embroidery thread and 5 yard lengths of silk ribbon.

Judith is an accomplished Canadian fibre artist, teacher, lecturer and author who grew up on the historic Bar U Ranch in the beautiful foothills of Alberta, Canada. Her career has taken her from painting to quilting to crazy quilting and embellished embroidery work.

Although her work keeps evolving, crazy quilting always appears in new designs which she employs as a contemporay art form. She is renowned for her landscapes, which incorporate all aspects of art and needle work techniques. Her work in all of these fields has taken her through the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Japan.

Her art garments have graced many prestigious fashion shows; her work has been commissioned for international firms and has won many awards and been featured in numerous museums. Her designs have been featured in many magazines and presented on several TV programs. Judith has produced 4 tutorial videos and 7 books.
