In reality you could call this my 4th last hurrah. I said when I finished dyeing a large group of fabrics almost 3 weeks ago I was done for the season.
Well, if you read this blog regularly you know I did a dyeing session when my friend Suzie visited and then a few days later my friend Peggy and I did some experimental dyeing.
When Peggy and I finished I still had a lot of dye left to use so I made it a priority to use if all up – 28 pieces of dyed fabric later – I used it all!
I also used all the fabric I had prewashed to dye in anticipation of the current dyeing sessions.
I particularly loved this as it was a real sunset coloration for this Sunset Kind Of Girl. I had not achieved anything like these colors previously.
I used a variety of techniques creating these fabrics.
Shibori, over dyeing, parfait dyeing, ice dyeing and some unique folding techniques created these fabrics.
This was one of the folded ones.
This used a variety of techniques.
I have heard of ice dyeing, but I made up my own method of doing it. I was thrilled with the results. I was so pleased the way this one turned out. Like many fabrics, it is even better in person. You just can’t quite duplicate the effect on a computer.

Well done, Kay. Absolutely stunning!
Love the sunset and the ice dying. Are you sure that you're done?
I have enjoyed all your results.
Surprising encounters in space
Those fabrics look so yummy. That has to be so much fun and addicting. The end results are amazing.
Although I have been dyeing fabrics off and on for years, this was the first time I really was able to have the right space, temperature, humidity and time to create a lot – almost 200 pieces.
Some of them are the size of a sheet of paper, some are larger.
The largest is probably just under a yard.
Now I can’t wait to design with them back “Up North”!
