Guild Dyeing Day.....

Today we had Wendy Scott, who is a fantastic Textiles teacher, come to the guild to do fabric dyeing with a small group of us. It was an awesome day.

Look at the concentration here....

Jan & Rhonda, We've got colour on fabric.......

We used the 3 primary colours to mix the colours we wanted and poured it over our fabric. A total of 3 mtrs was dyed.

Blending dyes and a little rock salt for effect.......

Stenciling with dye in a thickening medium.... beautiful work Lyn..

We all went home wanting more.

Some of our creations.......

Once home I still had to rinse a lot of my fabric out. It's so much fun when you undo all the tying and rubber bands to reveal the design on the fabric.

 Me in the paddock rinsing out dye.....


On the line.... waiting, waiting....
My beautiful finished creations. Not one of them is the same design.....

Happy Quilting

Very nice. One-of-a-kind fabric. It sounds like you had some fun and got some great fabric out of your class.
