Busy dying . . . . . wool. . . . .

I just spent the last two days dying wool and have some wonderful new colors!

Butter . . . .


Rose . . . . 


Green #1 . . . .


Green #2 . . . .


Some blue/green color . . . .


This is Pumpkin Patch, already on the web but I just had to show you how the plaid looked over-dyed with the pumpkin.


Green #1 and #2 are two different colors but didn't photograph well.  I hope they scan better.  The reason for the names is....the colors to me didn't look like the name of the recipe I used.  So I think I will have to come up with new names.  Either that or number them all!  This naming is harder than I thought.  I had wanted to give all my wools some significant Southern name but just don't feel THAT creative yet.

In the meantime, I am off to scanning them and putting them on the website.  Hopefully I will come up with some cute name soon!

One class is full already . . . . .

I will be teaching two wool classes at the annual Quilters of South Carolina retreat this October

This one called "Woolie Pincushions".  Not a very original name but it was all I could come up with.  LOL


And a second class called "The Wonderful World of Wool" which features a needlekeeper.



The outside front is in the picture above and the picture below is the inside.


The pincushion class is already full !!  I don't remember if "FULL" means 15 or 20 students. Either way, I am a little intimidated now!  I know all will work out in the end.  I'm just thrilled that that many people like my class.  I better deliver.
