i dye a good many of my fabrics, cottons, silks & wools; have been for years- i can not remember a time one of my quilts did not contain at least a little (hand dyed fabric)...i love crazy quilting too- so do some embellishing, embroidery, tatting,ribbon work, the list goes on & on ....i'm sure there are many of us here & on the 'crazyquilting' board ... plus there is all the 'art-quilt' sites to check out. EveningStar Designs is a good site to check out if you are looking for supplies-
