Bear in the Woods

I just finished this quilt and love it! You will see it on Wednesday.
Be sure and scroll down to see the posts of the things we did in class.
Let's have another great day of dye.

Layered Silk

These are the results I got from layered silk painting. They looked like a mess before steam setting and washing them out. Once they were washed and ironed they were really very lovely. I was experimenting with colors I usually do not use that much. I have gone on to create enough fabric to make something with these very stunning colors. I'll show you the results next time. We will be doing this same techinque again on Wednesday so you might want to add some silk screens for interest and texture. See you then.

We twisted and shouted WOW!

These are a few of the results of our "Twist and Shout" day. They are really amazing. I love the colors and the variety the ladies come up with. Now on to Layered Silk Painting.

Another Grandkid Quilt finished

This is for Trey. He wanted pirates and in a way it is. The back is pirate print fabric, but I figured he would grow up and this will be the only quilt I will make him (I still have 14 to go) so the pirate ship, treasure chest, Jolly Roger, and various denezins of the deep are in the quilting.

Success!!!

As you can see our day of "flying dye" was very successful. I love the stacks of colored fabrics.
Next we will do some ftechniques with acid dye for silk.
Bring silk, stretcher bars, and more chiffon if you want to continue "Twist and Shout"
See you.

TWIST AND SHOUT

It is called TWIST and SHOUT; because we will twist silk chiffon and then shout WOW! when we see the results.
get ready for some amazing results.

WHAT A DAY

Dye was flying in all directions. Some groups were doing a 24 step process,( anxious to see the results. ) Some tub dyeing low immersion method. And splish and Splash. Show and tell should be great!
