I did my first two dye baths this am using Jane Dunnewold’s technique. I can not wait to take them out to see if it worked- I have to wait 4 hours. I did a yellow and a blue with multiple different folds and stuff.
The second image – I mixed the blue and the yellow dyes together and got a wonderful multi-colored fabric with yellow, green and blue.
I have been watching videos lately instead of getting a lot of sewing done, but I am learning soooo much. I am planning on dying the fabric for my next large quilt and have been doing some research on it to get ready. I have done some small pieces in the past but I will need at least 20 yards!!! I started watching Complex Cloth by Jane Dunnewold tonight and I can not wait to get started. She presents it in such a way that it seems possible and even fun. I have only made it thru half of the video but have learned enough to last me several months.
My daughter and I spent the afternoon marbling fabric. I had heard of a technique that used shaving cream as the suspension for the paint. We had so much fun!!!
First you start with a work surface. We covered the table with craft paper and then used the shiny side of a large piece of freezer paper. The foam shaving cream is sprayed onto the freezer paper – a little larger than the size of your piece of fabric.
I have been having fun making some fabric postcards to send to a girl in TN. The possibilities are endless and I love trying new techniques.
I am really enjoying the weather lately. We had a couple of rainy days but for the most part it has been beautiful. I love being able to go to the beach in the evenings. The water is still really cold- under 60 – but the kids seem immune to the cold. There is nothing more soothing then the wind and the sound of the waves crashing. It relaxes me and then my mind starts “creating”.
This is the start of my Challenge quilt for the Pensacola Quilter’s Guild. The challenge is that the quilt must be a circle (12-40 inches in diameter) and it must contain at least 3 things that were in a grab bag. The items in the grab bag ranges from fabric, netting, organza, sequins, beads , etc.
The technique for this quilt was presented at one of the guild meetings last year. All of the accent fabrics have bugs in them. This quilt was made entirely from fabrics in my stash – all I had to buy was the batting. It was fun to use all of the bug fabrics.
