Here's my pal Candy Glendening who has just come out with a new DVD on Dyeing!!! I am so thrilled for her and for me, because this DVD has all the answers, and shows all the techniques that you may need to dye up gorgeous fabrics. Seriously.
It's a workshop in a disc, and I am loving it because it shows you everything I'd want you to know about dyeing, without me having to get off the couch. Now I can relax and just refer you to her dvd. Wonderful! Look at that page of color swatches. My goodness, that is a sensation. (I could never be that accurate and conscientious).
So to celebrate this new workshop dvd, Candy is giving one away. Just leave a comment, with your email and I will pick a winner by 8am (Central time) on Saturday 11/19/11.
And now your daily Dawg (and Dave) who have napping down to a science.
Looks wonderful! Thanks for the chance! (and I love all your work -- thanks for sharing on your blog!)
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice treat! I'm a yarn dyer, but only wool, so learning how to dye cotton would be so neat. And then I could use the fabric in my quilting.
ReplyDeleteThanks for offering it.
The dvd looks wonderful, I just know it would take my dyeing up a notch.
ReplyDeleteThanks Candy and Melody for this offer - crossing my fingers that I get to learn more about color and dyeing soon!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'd love to learn more about dyeing!
ReplyDeleteYour daily dog photos just crack me up! Thanks for getting my day off to such a happy start. And since my day started way too early, I'll be scheduling a nap myself.
ReplyDeletewould love to try dyeing! Background in watercolor painting makes me really curious about trying it.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blogs.
Those color swatches really are the best eye candy. Thanks for counting me in, Melody.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do so love hand dyed fabric and I love, love learning how you all do the amazing work you do! As an art quilter/volunteer who makes and donates quilts to AAQI, I would dearly love to win this dvd and trust me, I would most definitely appreciate it and put anything learned to good use!
ReplyDeleteI would love to have fabrics with beautiful colors (my colors) for my future projects. I am a very beginner and I would be very, very glad if this DVD would come to me.
ReplyDeleteMy best thoughts for you both!

Dying fabrics has always been on my bucket list, but I can never seem to summon up the courage to start. Or rather, I don't know where to begin. Sounds like this would do it!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog daily, Melody. I would love to do some dyeing but have never known how to get started. Thanks for the opportunity to win this DVD.

ReplyDeleteOh, I love to dye! I used your "Lazy Dyer" the last time I dyed, kind of as a refresher. Thanks for the chance to win this DVD!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh a dream come true! It would be wonderful for my "2 Dye 4" Bee! We certainly TRY to get all the right colors - but sometimes ?????!!!! Thanks for the chance to win! And the napping photo is a classic!!
ReplyDeleteI guess I'll quote Dirty Harry. "Do you feel lucky, well do you?"
ReplyDeleteI hope I'm lucky, I want to be lucky and I deserve to be lucky. I'll just say affirmations of "I will win" "I will win" "I will win" Maybe that will boost my odds.
Good luck to everyone and thanks to Candy and Melody.
Love her work!

Thank you for this wonderful tip about the DVD. You are always so generous with your knowledge and also promoting others' work as well. I look forward to my daily "fix" of your blog. Also, I loved your Radiant Orb quilt. I believe it is one of my all time favorite Melody quilts, with the exception of Hot Flash or the tulip quilt.
ReplyDeleteHi, I check your blog just about everyday. Your very generous in sharing your sewing and gardening ideas. Love the dogs. Diane

Color, color, color! I just love it but I've always been a bit shy about trying to dye my own fabrics. Between your blog dyeing posts and Candy's DVD I'd say that would be all that anyone would need to get started. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win Candy's dvd.
ReplyDeleteCool! I recently read about this DVD and would love to win it!
