Dyeing
I decided a shibori indigo quilt I'm making could use a contrast colour in the middle. I dyed an old pillow case with procion yellow, orange, brown, green, red and blue. March 2018 blog.
I used several stitch techniques, tied around beads, folded and wrapped around a piece of plastic and wrapped and gathered around chain. 2018
I used the flowers I picked for my mums birthday to try dyeing a piece of silk. It was a bit of an experiment. June 2018 blog.
Swatches of dye experiments for some yellow check cotton fabric. July 2018 blog.
