They literally caught my eye from across the store. It's no small wonder. They're simple and graphic, two things I love in almost anything, but especially in fabrics/textiles. I instantly started to think about all the things I could do with them, both as they are and after some dye and discharge manipulation. First, though, I had definite plans to over dye the red circle fabric.
And I did. And then I over dyed it with a shaped resist.
And already used some of the over dyed in a project.
Best of all the purchased fabric inspired some new patterning ideas for my own fabrics.

Oh, my these are incredible. I love what you have done. You are so speedy...
The red fabric from the Mingle collection is such a favorite! I love how you have used it! I also love your new designs. So colorful and graphic, but still so simple. Really clear colors. Beautiful.
These are great. I enjoy seeing what you do with dyes, making them uniquely yours. Your own designs are so creative and bold.
Very cool - and like Janet said, uniquely yours. The last photo has me thinking ketchup and mustard on a stainless steel countertop (in a good way).
your quilted things are always so graphic and 3D thanks to the ingenious quilting; strange enough, it wants me take a bite ;) They look delicious and edible.
Cheers,

What a great idea. Thanks so much for sharing your ideas.
Clever work! Inspiring!! I am so glad I ended up here! I can feel it, this will be the summer that I started quilting!
Before I rush to the sewing mashine though, how do you "a shaped resist" ?

I'm just in awe. I can't wait for your book to come out and to start playing more with dye myself.
