Luckily its only a small piece. Hope you're alright in the wilds of NJ-I can't believe how lucky you and Dave are to have found each other. He writes short stories and you make fab art.

What is the article number for the fabric you get from them? Also, does one have to be a registered business to order from them?<BR/>Thank you for being so generous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1141246726751536792006-03-01T15:58:00.000-05:002006-03-01T15:58:00.000-05:00Hi Melody,I'm going to try it your way. After all...Hi Melody,<BR/>I'm going to try it your way. After all, it isn't hard to see how wonderful your fabric is.. I do have a question though. When you do your dye painting, you soak your fabric in soda ash water.. lay it flat, and then each squirt bottle is 2 cups with one Tlb dye unless it is Fuschia?<BR/>Do you ever have problems with it bleeding? Or do you wash it until no more dye shows up in the water. I ask, because I had a learning experience after spending months piecing a miniature flying geese quilt and having the blue fabric that I dyed, bleed on the lighter colors.. totally my fault..must not have washed it out enough. Thanks for sharing what you have learned!!Terihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074733901643520018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1141231350167952422006-03-01T11:42:00.000-05:002006-03-01T11:42:00.000-05:00Now, get back to work!!
