Quilt Camp 2021

Sue arrived in New Hampshire Tuesday afternoon!  So, Wednesday was day one of Quilt Camp.  Lots of things to prep and get going.

We made a fresh bucket of indigo dye, started a soda ash soak of fabrics and t-shirts, wrapped some poles with fabric for dyeing, ice dyed a t-shirt, screened some Color Magnet, started some rust dyeing as well as finished some that Elizabeth started last week.  Sue also made some sun prints and mixed up the cyanotype solution for more play tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing what this dye called Marine will look like when it comes out from under the ice.

Several poles were wrapped in preparation for dyeing tomorrow.

It is always fun to dye with Indigo.  Our fresh bucket of dye will be ready tomorrow.

Sue did a cyanotype print with some previously prepared fabric and a sunprint using Pebeo Setacolor paint.

After soaking fabric in soda ash and allowing it to dry, Sue printed one piece with Color Magnet.  When dry, it will be ready for the dye bath.  The places with the color magnet will attract more dye resulting in a two-tone print.

Stay tuned for the results and more of our quilt camp adventures!
