Fabric Fun

 I needed to show you all the fun fabrics I dyed at the library last week.  The above photo is a piece tablecloth I cut up and dyed. Below is a photo of all the different colors did of the same cloth. My excuse is that I am going to show it to the quilt guild and eventually make it into a crazy quilt.

 The following 3 photos are of linen I over-dyed.

 They were originally for my local guild but came out too blotchy. I will find use for them eventually. The yellow with black would be fabulous for Halloween/fall motifs!  And the bottom green/blue one is lovely.
The last two pieces are silk from the same botched project for my guild. I hope to cut the pieces up and use them in a quilt. Although, it is silk dupioni  so I should be able to stitch on them too.

I really want to add more to the silk and tablecloth fabrics. Paint and stencils come to mind. Not today though. I need to go back to my crazy quilt research.....

I is for Indigo

Some friends went to a quilt show and picked up this lovely indigo dyed fabric from South Africa.  I need to wash it as it has something on it.  I love the designs.  I have a crazy friend who is going to grow indigo so we can dye our own fabric.  Yipee!

Some cool Fabrics

While in Santa Fe, New Mexico, I went to Santa Fe Quilting. It was a wonderful shop with a helpful staff. I highly recommend a stop there if you are in town.
I was mainly looking for fabric by Terrie Mangat, which they did carry. This is Bee's Knees which I bought because my son is a bee keeper. This one compliments it and has the most beautiful flowers on it. I see beads, lots of beads.

This last fabric is Frida's Garden from the Alexander Henry Fabrics Collection. I have no clue what I plan on doing with it, but I had to have it.
