Friday Favorites: Artist Kim Eichler-Messmer
I am inspired by so many things, I decided that every Friday, I will highlight a favorite person, thing, or idea. Maybe you will be inspired too! See all past Friday Favorites here.

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!

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
