Thread Dyeing Marathon
These baskets of thread are merely the tip of a thread-dyeing-marathon iceberg. During December I dyed every colorway and every size of thread available on the Artfabrik website. It was messy. It was back breaking. It was a miracle I got it done!
Note that one of my favorite colorways, Sunflowers, is on top of the  top basket. I use a lot of this colorway in my hand stitching (see Coleen’s Calling Birds #14). Twisting the thread skeins and adding a label is the next step… best done in front of a long TV movie with a cup of tea.

Nice Neighborhood (detail)

Calendar Girl
OK, maybe I’m no longer a girl, but images of my youthful quilts are appearing in 2 calendars this coming year. Look for Nice Neighborhood during the month of August in the AQS 2010 wall calendar. Housing Department #7 is in the International Quilt Association’s award winning quilts calendar published by Martingale.
May your new year be happy and festive!
