Oh My Gosh !!! That is just terrific !!! Can you share details of how you accomplished that pattern?

I have been stitching and clamping and pole wrapping fabric (Shibori) for Indigo dyeing for a while now. I have just made up an Indigo vat and will be starting to dye more on Friday. I have just finished untying; rinsing and washing a piece of Shibori and thought you might like to see it.

How many of you are going to Houston : : I hope you tell us all about it and we get lots of photos especially of the Thursday night meal.

Rita, I loved your show & tell and your cushion is gorgeous. You are very prolific. When the Whispers quilt come to you, you will have it done in no time

Lotti, Your fabrics are gorgeous. Rosemary, I love the indigo scarf and am fascinated with how you managed to duplicate the design. Rita, your hand appliqued pillow will certainly bring warmth and cheer to cold, damp Irish days. How inspiring, all of you!

Thank you so much Anne. I will save these addresses... and use them.

Anne

Thanks ladies for the kind comments. Rosemary you are right about that. There isn't a fabric I wouldn't use somewhere sometime.

Lotti, your hand dyes are gorgeous, thanks for the view.

Rita, your cushion cover is beautiful - again wonderful eye candy.

The thing with dyeing is it is all experimental, and if the results are not good, you can either over dye it or just cut it into smaller pieces (isn't that what they recommend for ugly fabrics )

Welcome back Rita. What a beautiful floral applique cushion cover. I like the butterfly too

Maureen, Rosemary and Lotti, you hand dyed fabrics are gorgeous. Do you dye silk same as cotton? What kind of silk? I'll have to do some research and give it a try. Any advice is appreciated

Wow, I am forced by current circumstances not to be able to get to my sewing machine or log on as I would like to so when I do log on... wow! look at what is going on, all that hand dyeing... such beautiful colors and fabrics all of you! I just keep scrolling up and down at all your pictures in total amazement. Rita, your cushion cover is lovely and I'm so glad you finished it because this way I got to see it!!!

Rita - Your applique cushion is wonderful! I love everything about it! I can't imagine making something out of 3/4" hexies! You have a lot more patience than I do! I've got a hexie quilt that I started years ago, but I'm using 2" or 3" hexies. That's about the best I can do!

We got an Ikea in Denver a year or so ago, but I've still never been. I've heard it's great, so it's on my someday list.

Beautiful little quilt Rita. You really are putting yourself through it making so many hexagons :shock:

I hadn't thought of Ikea, of course their fabrics are very reasonable. Trouble is that I'll get tempted with all sorts if I visit the store.

If you gals would just keep on posting all this eye candy, and keep it coming, I could save a lot by just looking and drooling over all those great fabrics. Of course, it's not the same if you can't touch.
