you can also do it with shaving cream, that's what I had to use because I'm in South Texas, I love your fabrics . I too love hand dying, what did you use? I used some Kona cotton once, it's so "tough" I can't really use it because it's just too hard to sew, but it's beautiful! Sometimes I can find PFD at JoAnn's but mostly I buy it at Dharma Trading.

Thanks for sharing. I love the end product. In my rag rug business I dyed as much as 30 yards at one time. I had washing machines with special disconnects, so that it would constantly agitate. Mine were procion dyes and I set with salt and soda ash. I know there are lots of different ways to do it. Do I really need more fabric? Well of course!

Absolutely gorgeous!

Wow you did a terrific job! Absolutely gorgeous colors.

Wow! Your fabrics are awesome! I got into ice dying when a member here posted her beautiful fabrics. It is so much fun to do & great satisfaction. People that aren't into fabric & quilting, just don't get it, do they? Like your co-worker. Things that excites one, does nothing for someone else. Good thing or it would be a boring world! lol Seeing your fabrics makes me want to do some dying this week-end. I just might! Thanks for sharing!

Oh dear! I love the pallet you chose to dye. How fun to be able to say I even dyed the fabric in this quilt. You go girl, and pay no attention to the squeaky wheel in the corner.

I have always wanted to try over-dying a black and white print. I think that would be so fun to use. I am afraid of the muddy color the dark would make in the end product.

VERY inspiring! you have us wanting to try our hand at your ART!

super job! some people just don't get the "I did it myself" passion quilters have

Fabric envy!! Gorgeous colors.

Beautiful fabrics!

Such vibrant colors!!! You really created some gorgeous fabrics.

Your colors are gorgeous!!! I would love to try dyeing my own colors. Takes quilting to the next level.

pretty colors!!!

Those colors are so pretty. Congratulations on your achievement.

Great job on the dying. The thing is, even if you could buy the same thing exactly at the store, it wasn't made by you. We don't make clothes, quilts, crafts, or dye fabric because we can't get it elsewhere, and its not always cheaper to do it ourselves. But the satisfaction you get by doing it yourself is priceless. People don't understand that part. I'm making clothes for my grand daughters birthday right now but I have to admit I bought her an outfit, It was a 3 piece sweater, top and pants, it was only 7.00 and I loved it so I bought it. I put a label in the kids clothes that says GGBABZ, that's what I call my gandbabies, Gi Gi babies, They love seeing the labels and think its great that these things were made by me. That's what makes me want to create more, because of the satisfaction it brings to me and those that I love. Keep up the great work. You know you can use crushed ice instead of snow. I'm getting ready to get back into dying on silk for some upcoming garments and I want to try the ice. We've only gotten one snow here, which is great for me but point is, I can't rely on snow for anything.
