Workshop

I was fortunate enough to attend a Shibori workshop with Jan Myers Newbury.  It was an awesome three days, and I created some great pieces, and took away a wealth of knowledge.

Here are some of the resulting pieces of fabric.  I cant wait to do yards upon yards of fabric with some of these fantastic techniques!

fabric evolution

This is a quilt top that uses a piece of fabric that did a lot of evolving!  The original piece of fabric was a multi color dyed fabric that lacked a lot.  The color just didn't work for me.  It got overdyed with a medium concentrate of black.  Then it was discharged using a silicone ice cube tray for the square pattern.  Next it was covered with freezer paper and dye painted with a raspberry color, shown in this photo below. 

 Here is the finished piece of fabric

And a close up

 And the final quilt top.  I love the way this turned out. !
