I've been dyeing fabric all week and am loving it! I may never buy another piece of commercial fabric. It will be so fun to start putting these together.
You can tell which fabrics are part silk.
I enjoyed taking a class from Judy Niemeyer at Aunt Mary's Quilt Shop in Arlington. She is moving toward teaching in Montana, as well as training her own fleet of teachers, that these trips are become more rare.
I began Simply Delicious with a quilt shop in Edmonds which is now defunct. That's how long it took me to finish. They would mail out a block once a month and I would watch them stack up while I tried to finish the first block. It was an apple. I remember appliqueing the first leaf on the background and being so proud, I held it up for Paul to admire. Uh-huh was about all I got. It wasn't that impressive.
