My Appearance on New Day Northwest

 

That wasn’t at all as as scary as I thought it would be. (Well, first I didn’t think it would be scary, then I did, and then I didn’t, and then I did, and then it was time to film.) The producers, Margaret Larson, and everyone on the set of New Day Northwest made it an easy morning when I was there taping my segment yesterday.
Next stops:
University Place Library in Tacoma- Thursday evening, April 3, from 7-8:00pm.
Elliot Bay Book Company– Saturday, April 5 from 2-3:00pm
Third Place Books (Lake Forest Park)- Thursday, April 10, from 6-7:00.

Kim Eichler- Messmer

After I did my very first dye experiment last week, I immediately reached out to Kim Eichler-Messmer, the author of the book I was using, Modern Color. The projects and techniques in the pages of this book are not the tie-dyed, batik fabric you’ve probably seen before. Definitely not. This is a very current feel and approach to the subject of dyeing fabric. Kim is a very talented colorist and quiltmaker, and the projects she presents in the book show a modern side of dyeing. She breaks down the mystery of fabric dyeing and makes it understandable for all of us. I wanted to know more about her work and thought you’d like to as well. Happy Friday!

Fabric Dyeing

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
