Golden Maple fabric

Haven't stitched in over a month, but I got the urge to hand dye some fabric for a project I am thinking about starting. I have been thinking about The Workbasket's Quaker Evens . I really like the October one with the acorns, but I couldn't find a suitable fabric in my stash for it, so I came up with this. I like the way it turned out:








I want to use Crescent Colours German Chocolate cotton hand dyed floss for the piece as well:





I think it looks suitably fall like. :) Well, I need to get going. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! :)

Holy lack of posting, Batman! My last post was on 11.03.2010. Wow. I suppose this is what happens when life gets in the way. I finally managed to get around to dyeing more fabric. This time it's for the Heaven and Earth Designs message board Storykeep SAL. I chose the Treasures SK for my part in the SAL. I have to post at least 3 pictures in my relevant SAL group before January 7th, I will be sent the other three charts towards the end of January. I can't wait to get started on it! :)

Here is the fabric that I dyed. I wanted something other than white, as there are a LOT of stitches of just white for the background. I am seriously contemplating ditching all of that white, because there is about 2-3,000 stitches of just plain white. Ugh. NOT looking forward to that at all! So, I decided that instead of stitching white on white, I would stitch it on a turquoise colored fabric and this is what I came up with:






I think it came out great. I wish I had had some opalescent to dye, but then again, it may not have come out this color. Ah, well. More's the pity, eh?


Well, I need to get going. Lots more to post on my main blog .



Thanks for stopping by! :)

Storm Clouds

Here is my latest hand dyed creation. I dyed this specifically for a certain project in mind. Took quite a bit of time to get it to where I wanted it, but all in all, I am very pleased with the results.


Here is the latest, called Storm Clouds:






Here is the project and the floss I will be using with this fabric:


Prairie Moon's For Thine Is The Trick And The Treat:







Hand Dyed Fibers Old Maid Of the Abyss:






I think I did ok, don't you? :)


Off put the first stitches in! Hope everyone has a wonderful day! :)

Latest Hand Dyed Fabric

Got around to dyeing a piece of fabric last night. It's a 28 count Monaco and I picked out a lovely shade of purple to dye it in. I was torn between that and doing another piece in the Guinness Foam Cream. I really like the way it turned out, although, I need to go purchase some more fabric to dye! :P


Here is my latest creation, Majesty:






I am torn about what to stitch on it. I have a project in mind, however, the floss tosses could not be more different! I am wanting to stitch Carriage House Samplings 'Quaker Alphabet Sampler' on this fabric, however, I am torn between a monochrome and using up to four different colors. Here are my choices:






With just the Threadworx 1082 Cabbage:






With DMC B5200, 742, and Needle Necessities 1442 Witches' Brew. I am also thinking about throwing in some DMC 310 with these colors, however, I would have to stitch some of the motifs in the lighter areas of fabric so that the stitching will show:





I would LOVE to have folks' opinion on this! P:)


I need to go for now. I have some chores that need attending to before I get to play. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day! :)
