Artist and quiltmaker Sara Larson Buscaglia invites readers to her Colorado farm to learn the secrets—and beauty—of making natural dyes from foraged plants and stitching natural-fiber quilts by hand. Learn to make naturally dyed quilts by hand with Farm & Folk founder Sara Larson Buscaglia’s beautiful aesthetic, informed by the extraordinary landscape surrounding her farm. Her creative practice centers on simplicity, working with nature, and using naturally derived materials and processes—and she is sharing that practice for the first time in this book. 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, which are all ideal for cotton and linen specifically, Buscaglia teaches the reader how to achieve consistent and beautiful results using traditional handwork techniques.

Eli ★★★★★

Sara's instructions for foraging and processing plants into dye are so clear I felt like she was right there in my kitchen, and the hand-stitching guidance gave me the confidence to finally start my first natural-fiber quilt. It's a slow, meditative process, but this book makes every step feel like

Mia ★★★★★

The photography alone is worth it—those Colorado farm scenes make you want to grab your sewing basket and head outside. I’ve already tried two of her foraging recipes for natural dyes, and the hand-stitching guidance feels approachable even for a beginner like me.

Robert ★★★★★

Opening this book felt like stepping onto Sara’s farm—the photography alone makes you want to brew a pot of dye from onion skins. I’ve already marked a dozen projects, and the way she explains mordanting with natural minerals finally made the process click for me. It’s rare to find a craft book that
