Working My Way Through the Rainbow, Part II

Finally the schedule allowed me to finish dyeing my rainbow! Seems a dead-line tends to inspire me the most. Tomorrow, I'll meet with the art teacher to show her what fabrics have been collected from Love Apple Quilters and dyed.

Tried for the first time dying so many fabrics at once. Thinking seven vats is pushing it a bit, so will stick to five in the future.

So, here are the colors marinating....


And here is the final result.


PFD vs. Muslin

Comparing how the different fabrics take the dye.


Even purchasing brand new gloves did not prevent me from having one blue finger....



Dare I say, I'm "dyeing" to do this again?
