Fabric Dying

About 4 Saturdays ago, the Variable Stars had another dying day.  This time we were able to do it on a Saturday instead of a weekday night which meant that we had a lot more time to try different techniques and colors.  We started out with Wendy's samples and decided the colors we wanted.  Then we looked up the recipes for the colors we wanted.




These were Wendy's most current color samples.

Well the computer has decided it's not going to cooperate with downloading photos, so I guess I'll try more tomorrow.

Didn't drop off the face of the earth

Hello,  It's been a busy summer.  I did my own mini shop hop at local shops in St. Louis, Carson City and Greenville Michigan, went to a quilt retreat and did some fabric dying and started the process of having my 57 year old kitchen renovated.  I will report on all of these, hopefully, over the next week to get caught up.

But came across this video on another blog and thought it was great.  Enjoy,  we all need a few more laughs...
