End of the Season for Basketball and Wrestling

It looks like basketball and wrestling seasons are coming to an end.  Final competitions are this weekend.  This means spring must be around the corner and on to softball and baseball!  I really enjoy going to the grandkids games.  It's been great seeing them grow and improve their skills.

Not Much Luck

Well I tried the snow dyeing technique and had poor results.  I'm sure I did something wrong so I will give it another try.  I used some "old' dye I already had mixed and also rinsed with hot water and believe I should have rinsed with cold water first then two hot water washes.  So I'll give it another try before the snow is all gone.  I'm posting a picture of the fabric, snow and dye.  Wish it had come out with the color shown here!

Dyeing with Snow

I came across this Blog today and I'm very excited about trying this dyeing technique.  We haven't had much snow but I'm going to give it a try anyway.  The technique is explained on the Blue Heron Quilts blog and I recommend you take a look at some of her beautiful hand dyed cottons!  Lovely stuff.
