A longtime Austinite, Malka Dubrawsky originally came here to attend the University of Texas where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art.

It was life at home with children that brought her to creating with fabric and eventually to patterning the fabric itself.

Her first book, Color Your Cloth: A Quilter's Guide to Dyeing and Patterning Fabric introduces the reader to dyeing fabric with wax resist or batik. The focus of this book is the accessibility of this process to someone who
crafts at home. In her book, Malka states, "I know this process is doable at home because I do it at home."  The book covers a variety of techniques for creating simple, graphic patterns on cotton or linen oftentimes using commonplace objects as wax applicators. The entire process is covered thoroughly and the book includes 12 easy to create projects to spur the reader from blank fabric to finished product.
