Colors to Dye For!

I won a giveaway!

Dye Candy had this wonderful giveaway and I got to choose from some fantastic items.  Actually there were so many gorgeous things to choose from that it was quite the challenge.  Of course I had to choose fabrics!

I chose these little sampler packs of beautiful hand dyed beauties.  If you are a hand dyed fabric fanatic this is certainly the place to go to . . . pop over and have a look at the selections – like the name says – it really is Dye Candy.

I’m still not sure what I’m going to come up with to use this pieces in, but I do know that they are going to have to be set aside until a couple of other projects get finalized.  I will have them set some place extra special so that I can be inspired by their colors every time I’m in the sewing room.Here is a Christmas gift all finished and ready to go for the gal I work with.   

And here is the one that I made for my Dad and Stepmom to put under their tree.

These turned out so great that I’ll have to keep the scraps handy so that I can make one for myself next year – I’m surprised at how many skinny, narrow wall spaces I have where this just fits perfectly! 

I have the rest of this week off and have two more BIG quilts that need finished, but I’m at the point where I’m not panicking . . . I’m far enough advanced that it shouldn’t be a problem to get these finished off.  Pictures coming in the next post!

Off to shop all day today – mostly groceries for the big supper – Christmas gifts are mostly decided on and purchased or made already.  Pretty laid back about the holidays in this house!  How are your Christmas preparations coming along?

‘til next time,
