Last summer I dyed some yarn with KoolAid, canning jars, and my microwave oven. It was SO easy, very little mess, kitchen friendly (didn't have to worry about toxins). I'd love to try it out on fabric. I've heard you can also use Easter egg dye - now's the time to stock up.

[Pat]

i bet you can google the koolaid.. there was a lot about that for awhile.. I saw wool dyed with the koolaid!

Hi all,

A while ago I mentioned my application for a Creative Team for an online quilt shop.  Well I made it.  So lots of happy dancing down here.  I will show you my winning creation once it all gets announced and they reveal the projects.  Have one more leaf to stitch on the block I showed you the other day... will have to start on the rest soon.

YAY for you Amanda!

[Pat]

SUPER Amanda!! what fun!!!! Cant wait to see your project!

I have a bunch of kits to cut today for Meadow Breeze... and waiting for the new McCall's magazine with my antique 'remake' in it!!!

[bergyal]

Here it is...

[Pat]

Amanda that is SO ADORABLE!! LOVE the huge vase and flowers!!!! love the fabrics... and the styled photo!! GOOD JOB!!

so everyone.. how can I make kits but have 3 pieces left over.... I'm so confused..

[bergyal]

Bummer .... does that mean you have to open all the kits again.

[Pat]

LOL... no... I was doing multiple types of kits... I think I over cut something... but it's werid.  i'm VERY careful ... everything stacked, all kits have the number of fabrics counted... etc..

and only left one piece out of the first 5 I did.. mailed that long ago. And that was because i forgot to write it on my master list!

[Pat]

so how much multi tasking do you think I can squeeze in??? I have 8 windows open right now!

[madakamom]

Amanda, that is awesome!

Pat, I'm sure you were careful, but save the extra pieces just in case... someone might contact you!

Spent yesterday sewing with a friend and 15 of the 20 thangles blocks I needed to finish for this month.  Today I will finish those last 5 and work on my Vicksburg BOM.  My next project is a guild challenge... design a wall hanging between 24 & 42 inches (not necessarily square) using black and white and one other color.  I've got an idea in my head... now I've got to get it to paper and fabric and done by April 15.  hopefully having a deadline will get it done.

[Pat]

Sounds like a SUPER day HM!!!

and fabric... do I have FABRIC... I'm drowing in fabric.. there are bolts over over my dining room... kits stacked all over my living room... and all the leftover ends stacked on the dining room sidebar!!!

today I have lunch with my friend and I'm taking her wool for our crazy wool squares.. but I first need to get the wool collected ... which I forgot to do last night!

I'm at the Lancaster show and believe me it is a disaster. I will write more later when I get back tonight to my 'new' motel after the first one refused to turn on the air conditioning and it was 88' in my room. It's not the season yet was the excuse. I checked out this a.m. and then worried I would not have a place to sleep tonight that didn't cost over $200. Well I just got my computer on-line in this mom and pop motel and it is a clean room. So I'm headed back to the quilt show - oh no - wait first I drive to one of the two parking lots miles away from the venue and take the shuttle to one of the three different sites for the show. Yeah, that's right. I forgot. 

[Pat]

So sorry to hear that Sharon.
