More Dyeing, More Gardening and a Little Bit of Quilting

on
I just finished quilting two small pieces.  A little different than my usual work.  Not a tuning fork in sight....
Brown, pink and brown.  23" x 19"
Spikey quilt.  18" x 20"
I spent another two days dyeing this week,  Monday with Rhonda and Tuesday on my own.   Rhonda and I dyed a gradation from "intense blue" to "chartreuse."  A bit pastel, but there are some lovely colors...
 We also dyed turquoise and red-orange in 3 values:

 
On Tuesday I dyed a really nice gray value gradation:
We've had a nice amount of rain this week and the garden is very lush.  But the big show has been indoors.  Several of our orchids are in bloom!

 


I'm linking this post to Nina-Marie's Off the Wall Friday, Richard and Tanya's Quilts Link a Finish Friday, Friday Fabric Frenzy, Confessions of a Fiber Addict and Crazy Mom Quilts Finish it up Friday.  Go see all the wonderful work there!

I think we've all been working outdoors since good weather has finally come and for me that has been dying and sun printing. I love the colors you did and the work you're doing!

I really like these even though I don't usually go for that sort of thing. It may be the colors or the fact that they are pretty geometric still. Either way, good work!
