Procion dyes

So Alec Smart is inquiring about Procion dyes (see Medusa posting). I think he must be related to the infamous Maxwell. Imagine his wanting to eat them fresh!

OR, is he referencing Joe Fresh? I wonder if Joe's Tee's are Procion dyed. No, probably vegetable dyed. Rock on!

Etsy's on the horizon!

Keep your eye on the horizon, Etsy's on it! Watch for a great boutique of art dolls, jesters and quilts! We'll keep you posted!

Floating Circle Quilt


So here's the beginning of a new journey. It's up on the wall and has yet to be sewn. A w.i.p., of course! I'll have to do something with the lighting as it reads black but it's really shades of taupe. Aren't those moving circles just the coolest? Maybe a class at Sew-Sisters Quilt Shop. Tink'll post it if it materializes. wow, but that's a mouthful not to mention a somewhat mediocre pun. Rock on!
