DYE DAY TO DIE FOR!!

 It's been well over a year since I had a dye day with pals.....our Fiber Frenzy group of 6 met monthly to 'play'.  I've missed that.

With gratitude I accepted an invitation to join like-minded art quilters to a 'dye day'.  Michelle has the most incredible wet studio set up in her yard and generously not only shares the space with friends, but all her supplies as well.  She was my first fiber friend here and I can't thank her enough for including me in so many activities.

I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.  This is heaven.

To make the most of my time, I decided to concentrate on premixed procion dyes that I used to flat dye a variety of fabrics: PDF, vintage brocade table cloth, the wrong side of older printed fabrics I no longer cared for, and course burlap colored cotton.

I now sport the badge of a day of dyeing fabrics.  Gloves you ask?  Sure but I can never keep them on.....




These are some of my flat dyed fabrics.

Others used this opportunity to ice dye using a unique method of gravity dyeing.








What a fabulous day!!!!
