Judy, what a lovely group of colors! I love the background! I have hesitated to order the batiks from CT..I ordered some fabric from them previously and it had a type of sheen that I didn't care for. Are the batiks that way? Yours look sooo wonderful that I might have to give them a try.
I love the batiks. I handwashed all 50 of them tonight and only 1 had any dye come out of it at all. I couldn't believe that. After the first few I thought, "Maybe I don't have to do this." But I figured the one I didn't wash would be the one that bled all over my quilt, so I washed them all, and it was about the 45th piece that bled for about 3 dunkings, then it quit. So I think things are looking good.
Now I have to find some embroidery thread. I'm thinking variegated, but am not sure. It's a 30 minute drive to find anyone who has any, so it'll be awhile before I find any, I am sure. But everything else seems to have fallen into place.
