New Display Rack

I picked up a great display rack at Borders fixture sale.  Isn't this what most people have in their living room?  Playing around with the layout as I am doing a quilt show in less than two weeks.  Thrilled to have picked up this fixture, but so sad about Borders going out of business.

Yummies

Finally feel like I have a good set of basics for the store.  Some different rainblow blends of diffent values, some basic gradations and the obvious two parent color blends.  Since I feel like I have the basics down, now it's time to play with the fun stuff! 

I dyed this set of fabric in gradations from Emerald Green to Grape.  Oh it is so lovely I could eat it!  I have name it "Vineyard" as I think that is appropriate with the purprles and greens. 

I have also had a chance to play with some of the art cloth pieces I have started.  This is one I finished the other day also.  It is cotton/ bamboo.  Dyed with a tan mix, circles printed with thickened dye in burgundy using a thermofax screen, then overdyed with green.  The colors in this are so organic!  This is a one yard piece, the rings are about 5 1/2" in diameter. 


I wish I had more time to play this weekend, but house projects await...

Remeber to visit my store, where many of these fabrics can be found for sale!
