It's Sunny outside and 72 degrees here in
Lancaster county!
Finally I can open up the windows and air
out the house! A wonderful breeze is blowing
through.
Spring cleaning has begun and I have a
lot of fabrics that I'm selling in my Etsy shop.
I have opened another shop there just for
my hand dyed fabrics - called Materialistic
Visions. My other shop is just for my quilts
and quilted items.
I have lots of strips and have made a bundle
of 30 pieces. Various colors, textures and designs!
A set that is 2" wide and various lengths
A set that is 2 1/2" wide
and 3" wide
These are mostly cut offs from larger pieces.
Lots of ideas - weave or make an abstract collage.
I will be adding more pre-cut squares during the week.
I had to stop feeding the birds for awhile thanks
to these silly crackles that chased them away
and were eating their food. blah!
Finally - First sign of spring
A bit of color in the landscape!
Lots of work ahead - cleaning out the flower beds.
And House cleaning - blah
but it has to be done. Curtains, blinds and windows
but I'll save that for next week.
I'm starting in the closets and with my tubs
of my hand dyed fabric.
Remnants ---
and pre-cuts 60 pieces 3" x 3"
Pretty colors for spring - in my Etsy shop.
I have a lot more to got through!
Happy Spring!
Happy 2014!
I love painting and dyeing fabric and have
more than I can use.
Here are some of my hand dyed and painted
fabrics.
Fat eights in various textures and techniques.
Techniques - shibori style, sun prints, resist, blending.
I actually use paint brushes on some of the fabrics which
can be very time consuming but fun!
Three piece set - coordinated - Shibori style Daisies
- Hot Pink and yellows.
Each piece measures 17 1/2" x 21 1/2" Just under one yard.

We have had so much snow here in Lancaster
for the past couple of weeks - I'm ready for
spring!
I have been feeding the birds again this winter.
A pretty Blue Jay outside of my window.
Here's one hiding under the table on my deck.
And of course where's there's food......
Happy Quilting!
