We made another trip to Keepsake Quilting today, with a stop at an antique shop on the way and the grocery store after, so didn't accomplish much in the studio. But I did wash out 4 more pieces of indigo dyeing (pictures of just 3) and, I made pie!! (Keeping up with my 1 my per week assignment, only this week I was an over achiever and made 2.)
The top photo is a fat quarter that was clamped with wooden circles to resist the dye. In the 2nd piece which is cotton gauze, I used wooden discs and buttons with rubber bands wrapped around; the stripes are also done with rubber bands. The third piece is also cotton gauze that was pole wrapped.
The pie this week is Shoo-fly Pie, a PA Dutch tradition. This is my great grandmother's recipe, which makes 2 pies (that's why I made 2). Yum! Haven't had this in a long time. Part pie, part coffee cake.
At Keepsake we happened to get there for the first day of their fat quarter sale. I didn't need any fabric but........40% off!
