An afternoon with the Country Village Quilters' Guild

During her last week at Lake Winnipesaukee, Elizabeth sneaked in an afternoon visit to speak to the Country Village Quilters’ Guild in Moultonboro, New Hampshire.  20 ladies attended and had a great time learning about Indigo Dyeing and Shibori techniques.  Each person left with at least one 12 inch square of dyed fabric, some were able to complete 2 to 3 pieces.  Thanks to Terri Sontra of Purple Moose Designs, who is also their program chairman, for the invitation to be part of their guild meeting.

During her presentation, Elizabeth explained the different folds and everyone prepared their own square.

Once outside, each person handed Elizabeth their folded square and she added it to the indigo bucket.

Indigo dyeing doesn't take long so everyone was able to rinse and unfold their square after a few minutes.

Everyone seems pleased with the results.

 

 

Each piece was striking and different.

It was fun to introduce this group to a new technique.  We all had a great time!
