Magazine Giveaway and Fabric dyeing

January 7, 2017July 22, 2020 26 comments

Hi friends!

What are you up to today?

Today I am going to ice dye some fabric. Or maybe snow dye. We have a bunch of snow!

Ice Dyeing

 

 My local quilt guild is having demo night this month as our program. I thought it would be fun to demo something a little different so I am doing ice dyeing. I haven’t dyed fabric in a while- since my friend Marcia moved away. She and I had done a lot of dyeing together.

So I am going to do a little practice session, try a few different folding techniques and see what happens!

I recently posted that I was guest blogging over at McCall’s Quilting magazine. And the quilt I was blogging about was this one called Ring Around the Toesies.

Bed Scarf

 

It is a bed scarf – perfect for when you want to add a pop of color to your bed but don’t have time to make a whole quilt! It was a lot of fun to make- and quicker too!

 

It is in the Feb/March 2017 issue of  McCall’s Quick Quilts. There are a lot of fun projects in this issue. Would you like a chance to win a copy?

Just leave a comment below for a chance to win. You have until Monday night Jan 9th at 9 PM (my time).

Giveaway is now closed.

Ring Around the Toesies

 

And don’t forget to go to my post over at McCall’s Quilting blog and enter for a chance to win the goodie over there! That giveaway ends tomorrow, Jan 8th. 

Off to the dollar store for last minute supplies and then to dye some fabric!

happy quilting,

Kate

    Thank you for the giveaway opportunity. The ice dyeing sounds like fun! I’ll have to give it a try with my granddaughter, she loves to try new things with fabric and fiber.

    Can’t wait to read more about the ice dyeing. I was looking at videos this week and suggested to my grandson that we need to try this technique. We’ve been dyeing T-shirts for 12-14 years in one form or another and haven’t tried this.

    Wonderful giveaway. thanks for the opportunity.

    I’d like to learn about ice dying even though I’d have to buy the ice since we don’t usually have it in south Texas! I’d love to win this because your pattern is wonderful!

    I’m a bit intimidated with using powdered dyes. But I love the look. Have been playing with Rit and Dye-It and getting some good results. But ice and snow dying are very appealing!

    Fabric dyeing sounds like something fun to learn! We have plenty of snow here too, so I’d be all about that! Your bed scarf is a beauty and is another project I’ve had on my to-do list for quite a while…it will get done someday!

    A little extra color when I use my all white quilt would be terrific.
