Finished !!!!!!!

Sorry cannot post a picture of it .... (nudge nudge,wink,wink ) you know what I mean..
Phew load off my mind. Now onto bigger and better things... Tomorrow night Laura
Kemshalls talk and trunk show. Then Saturday quiltmaking with Laura .. NO idea
what I am going to do yet but going to go and get some of my things together...
So do expect to see pics galore here from the talk and workshop... I will make sure
I get her permission to post them as well.
Also Saturday night we have my mans work party and its Black tie and we have
to wear hats soooooo pics of that as well. You will be sick of all these pics !!
Karoda and Annabel asked where I got these paints. Here in the UK at
http://www.craftynotions.com/quickcolor.htm I used almost 1/4 of the tube on that smallish piece of fabric and it was quite thin so if your looking to do alot of dyeing umm not so practical
but great if you just want to do a smallish piece .. the colour washed out a bit on the second colour brown and orange, but maybe I just did not leave it on long enough.
ok so nighty night for now and watch this space.

Quick Colour instant dyes  

Quick colours

Easy easy dyeing .. I started out with a white piece of lawn I think they call it here ... really fine cotton fabric. I first thought ohh lets put some elastics on for a resist. Ok that done .. now lets take the white fabric and wet it, put some quick colour on it and presto magico ... after you put it in the microwave for 4 ish minutes the yellow appears, rinse it then iron it dryish and then try putting browns and oranges on it ... the colour looked great after it came out of the microwave but the colour didnt really stay hmmm should I have let it sit longer .. who knows but now I think the piece looks a bit wishy washy and wondering if I should overdye it but I dont want to remove the elastics till I do that so there it sits waiting for me!

Right now I am back to doing a job for someone in my village who belongs to the masonic lodge .. so cannot really say what I am doing (nudge nudge ... wink wink....)
But I had a heck of time doing the lettering last time and had to abandon it. Now back to it and it needs to be finished by this weekend...
Well this time I have sewn the letters on .. using felt this time (so they cannot wash it).
Last time I used fabric and it started fraying and then I tried using a satin stitch but
apparently that doesn t work so well on crinkle velour bahhhh what was I thinking..
So now this is working with the felt .. of course had to stablize the fabric with some interfacing
the knit type .. so far all is going well. HOpefully going to finish this tonight so I can play with stuff I want to do...
JUST SAY NO to others who keep asking me. Can you just? NOOOOOOO I SAY NO
Better get at it so I can finish it . Till later.

Bit wishy washy for my likings
