Batiks and hand-dyed are 2 different things Brat. Hand dyes are just about like the old tie dyes, same process, batiks every color changed is waxed. Got 2 sets completely done and almost the 3rd one. Hope to sew on the other 3 sets today and this week-end and get them complete. Another swap checked off my list. Being gone for so long really threw me off this month, have a message board I post the sent date and received date on so I remember I'm done. Had notes of everything I sent on the road but now can only find half my notes. Know they were sent but can't find the conf.#'s anywhere. Now just wait for what I'm suppose to get back, whatever that is. Have a fantastic week end everyone, suppose to be in the high 70's and low 80's here, perfect.
