Look what arrived in my mailbox today! I was the prize winner (see last post) chosen from 150 entries!
I've had fun this past week dyeing more cotton. Here's a picture of three pieces I did.
The pieces on each end were done with snow dyeing and the middle one was done with a fold technique using clothespins to hold the folds. To me it looks almost like stars in the sky. I have done some Shabori and used a soy wax resist on it, new to me. Quilting Arts has an article in their most recent magazine. I'll be checking to see how I did later today.
I have some UFO's I'm trying to get caught up on and I'm working on another art quilt featuring roller skates. The metal ones that we attached to our shoes back a few years ago. I just loved roller skating!

Hi Diane- Your new fabrics are inspiring! Love the clothespin piece. One of our "Bee" members wrote the article about soy wax and shibori. I have it on my list to read as well! Enjoy the blue spirals and post whatever you end up making with them on the Bee facebook page,--Julie Booth
