I had a blast working on snowmen this weekend. Different that the other 2 rows, so I hope it is OK. I had this idea, then I started it a couple of weeks ago. For some reason that idea just wasn't inspiring me to complete. Then this weekend, I decided to give it another shot. Same Idea, a little more work, and I am totally in love with the result. I have one piece to do some hand work on, and then I have to add a block to the end, first I have to figure out how big that block needs to be, and I will have a finished product!! Question. What is your intent for this quilt? I am doing some embellishing. A littleBeadwork here, a bit fleece there, a poof of organza, WhaLA!! Too much? If it is, just send it back to me and I will do it over!! I had so much fun with this one, I will have a tough time sending it on. LOL
I cannot wait to try the dying. I am coming to AZ in June, maybe a get together? I had a gal come to our retreat this year and she was going to show us how to dye the fabric. Well, we got all the plastic laid out, all our tools around, she passed out the PTD fabric, and realized she had left the bucket of dyes at home. So we got instructions but no hands on. I am a messy person, myself, thus the waiting for outdoors. I have been reading on the various methods. The parfait sounds interesting, as well as the resist stuff. Since we have so much snow this year, I wish I could get a move on and try some of the method that uses melted snow or ice cubes. apparently you crumple up the material with ice cubes or snow and dribble the dye over the top, it dyes as the snow/ice melts. See, I just talked myself right out of it.
I have a sister in AZ and I am going to a conference in Albequerque, so she was going to drive down to visit me. I am thinking about just flying into Phoenix and driving down with her!! She thinks that brilliant. I think it is a sister thing. LOL
