I've got far too much bright, jump out and hit you in the eye red and decided to experiment with a spot of tie dying. Instead of dye I used bleach and this is the result.
Alex has claimed it and has got the dying bug.
Now instead of quilting I shall be up to my elbows in dye! Can get lots of white cotton from the warehouse at Javerlhac and then we can experiment. Anyone got any tips/ideas?
WiP this week is Kezia's quilt. The top is finished so now it's sandwich time!
And then just as you thought it was safe to go back into the bathroom!
