The Joy of Thickened Dye

I was scheduled to take a workshop from Kathryn Schmidt, author of "Rule-Breaking Quilts". How perfect, I'll dye and paint five yards of fabric to make my quilt...my first quilt. And I'll use several techniques: stenciling, stamping, silk screening, deconstructed silk screen printing, soy wax relief, painting, shabori, sponging and dripping. It was great fun...but what a shame to cut it up....

It took five days to dye the fabric and then several returns to the fabric for painting and detail work.

Next project was to take the class...Thanks, Katheryn, great class...and begin cutting the fabric! Next post!
I'm packing up half my studio and taking it to the Needlework and Textile Guild of Michigan for a class I'm teaching tomorrow - "The Joy of Thickened Dye".
