Another thing I played around with last week was fabric dyeing.
I have always wanted to try this. I did a very small bleaching experiment a few years ago, but nothing since. And I love the idea of dyeing my own fabric to get a certain color- plus, it’s your own fabric when you dye and create it’s color, right?READ MORE

This is the disappearing nine patch quilt I started back in October.
