If you are referring to the "through the looking glass" swap, then yes, I am considering this!

Forgot to add yesterday that DonnaH-M's rugs are on the way to her.
As much fun as this was, I'm enjoying the winding down after I got it all done and mailed. I got tense the last few days, feeling like I was forgetting to do something. Once I dropped that package in the mail, I was really relieved!
Looking forward to another swap, after a little break to do some dyeing and make a couple of family projects. Have to quilt a twin size for my daughter to take to college this fall (CRY!!!!!). She and I are going to try batik soon, too! And I'm trying to persuade her to do a few pieces for the AAQI while on break as well. Shaping up to be a busy summer!

One of the reasons I started quilting was to use some dyed fabrics! I love experimenting with color. Have you seen the new "Quilting Arts" magazine? It has a big article on adding color to fabric. It covers shibori very basically, and I had been meaning to try it for a while. Worth a look if you haven't already!
We'd have to make it a group because Nancia is a budding dye artist, too!

I just got the Cindy Walter book on fabric painting,,it is really good. I have taken a few classes with Cindy and her stuff is a great compliment to hand dyed fabric!

Jacquie, I want to experiment with dyeing and painting fabric ... so can I seek you out for advice? I tried some fabric painting with regular paint, it was somewhat successful but have not used it yet in a project. I have a lot to learn!

this was done with sunprinting and some silk salt thrown on to give it more of a water color batik look!
