...that's all I've done so far this week. I spent yesterday up to my elbows in the dye buckets, and produced 24 yards of fabric. Two yard pieces of pimatex, dyed in three step gradations of blue, raspberry, yellow green and bright yellow. Unfortunately, the yellow gradation is very subtle. So I have 6 yards of pretty much evenly dyed bright yellow fabric.
Guess I'd better start another quilt that features yellow...
Mostly this week I've been working in the garden. It's just starting to get hot here and the garden is still lush and green. The early season day lilies are blooming right now.
The garden is looking tidy and the fabric is ready to add to my stash. Time to get back into the studio!
I'm linking this post to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday, Friday Fabric Frenzy and Confessions of a Fiber Addict. Go see all the wonderful work there!

Jay, we've always had three turtles. The female is generally shyer and we don't see her as much. She seems much bolder this summer.
Nina Marie, I do go for even dyeing. Lots of scrunching every 15 minutes or so. And we had a cold winter (for Texas) here, too. Everything is a little late -- the day lilies usually start in mid-May.
Snowcatcher, thank you! I think my gradations would have been more pronounced if I had measured my dye stock solution into the buckets. I just dumped. I've done better yellow gradations in the past. Just being lazy!
