I still can't resist purchasing a fabric I see that I like, thinking I'll go back to using fabric again some day. Love your wild quilt; your Lancaster series are so powerful and beautiful, I particularly like the technique on the last of those two on your website.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20880875.post-44510339786718223792009-04-17T20:51:00.000-04:002009-04-17T20:51:00.000-04:00Are you OK?

Do this 10 to 15 times on a 1 yard piece then dunk it in a small bucket of MX dye. I layer by replacing the elastics on different sections of the fabric and then over-dyeing with different colours. A lot of this process is described in Complex Cloth by Jane Dunnewold.<BR/><BR/>Kit.Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029783868312571914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20880875.post-14039339843069046312009-02-26T09:12:00.000-05:002009-02-26T09:12:00.000-05:00Kit...
