Yesterday my day was filled with quilting and color. I was quilting on a red and white quilt with a solid white backing, and dyeing fabrics with lots of color.
And I managed to do both without getting either on the other! (good thing!)
The quilt is now ready to go back to the customer. These are pics of the back as I was taking it off the machine:
Which reminds me, I need to click on over to Backside Fabrics and purchase a backing for a quilt I have coming up next week.
As for the dyeing…..well, I always enjoy a dye day! There is something almost magical about the changing of a white cloth into a colored, textured piece of cloth.
Today has mostly been spent in the office, doing paperwork. Tonight I’ll be doing a little bit of unsewing on a customer quilt that I am just not totally happy with the results (yes I do that if I’m not happy with it…..my customers deserve the best I can do)….and I’ll also be spending some time pressing out these dyes.
Hmmm, maybe tonight should be a night I turn on the television? Then again……………..
Oooh, your dyeing looks great! I think unsewing with the TV is just the right thing to do.
You have been very busy! The new dyeing looks yummy!
I love the colors!!! What dyes do you use? Procion MX?
The red and white quilt is 100% IQ, right? It’s wonderful!!
