Dye Candy!

From Dyed Fabrics & Threads

Chris Daly from Dye Candy surprised me with this little treasure, because I was one of the lucky winners of her latest giveaway!

She made the pink flower quilt block pendant with her own hand dyed fabrics.
It measures 1.5x1.5 inch (2x2 cm).
With Spring in the air and living in Holland, it makes me think of tulips.

Chris also let me pick some of her beautiful hand dyes from her wonderful collection. With the pendant I also received:

three velvets

three matching Jacquards

They look and feel wonderful!
Chris shows more quality hand dyed fabrics for quilters and quilt block jewelry at her Etsy shop.

Thank you for your visit!

Mixed Media: new studio techniques

From Reviewed & Wished for

What a nice surprise; I was one of the 4 lucky winners of this new book from D4Daisy Books!
Being an absolute newbie on mixed media but very eager to learn more about the topic, my first impressions of the book are positive. It is a real teaching aid and very well written by Isobel Hall and Maggie Grey with clear step-by-step photos made by Michael Wicks.

Isobel Hall is a teacher and textile designer who specializes in creating handmade paper to make embroidered bags. She teaches papermaking, bookmaking, and bag making. Isobel lives in Almeria, Spain.

Maggie Grey is a cutting-edge textile artist and editor of Workshop on the Web, an internet-based magazine. She founded D4Daisy Books in partnership with photographer Michael Wicks. Maggie lives in the south of England.
