Fabric to Dye For

Dyed and delicious

It’s no secret that I love dyeing fabric and other textiles, especially vintage needlework and linens. I also love sharing the process via an educational workshop that has become quite popular.  The second in Iowa this year is coming up Thursday, June 1 in Winterset, Iowa.  The Iowa Quilt Museum is expanding their annual “Airing of the Quilts” into a multi-day activity complete with retreat, classes and nationally known quilter, Ricky Tims.  I am honored to be one of the class teachers with “Fabric to Dye For”.  Participants will go home with 3 yards of dyed fabric and textiles in addition to the knowledge to start their own creative collection of artisan dyed textiles.  You can sign up now for the class and I look forward to meeting new friends. For more information on all the activities go to the Iowa Quilt Museum website and start planning your travel to see quilts at the museum, a special quilt show and the county wide “airing of the quilts”.

I mentioned this is the second opportunity in Iowa this year.  The first is program and workshop at a quilt guild in Grinnell.  I would love to share at your quilt guild/group/retreat so feel free to contact me through this posting. Enjoy the photos below of some colorful textiles.
