    Default My bucket list

    I have always wanted to dye my own fabric. Two weeks ago I took a fantastic class from Jamie Wallen of Quilters Apothecary. Here are most of my fabrics. I'm still waiting for my purples to stop bleeding. Three colors gave me 36 fat quarters.

    I truly appreciate the prices charged for hand dyed fabric! It's work!

    Beautiful colors! Really love the vibrant red and gold! Is it similar to tye-dying without dipping the fabric in more than one color and the tying? I used to do a lot of that about 35 years ago!

    That looks great. Can you do a tutorial on this project since we don't all live in your area ? I will watch with great pleasure. So willing to learn. I wonder if there is any tutorials out there?

    I bought a class on iquilt. This AQS's classroom. The class was by Cindy Lohbeck. She does a fantastic job. I mostly did her technique, and a few techniques from Jamie.

    My hands turned purple when I tried this. It put me off having another go. Your colours look fantastic, looking forward to seeing the quilt.
