WIP Wed ...or what you are doing when you are really doing nothing too productive!

First of all I actually did do something productive..I finished my great nieces "Ducky" fleece robe. I think it turned out super cute and I hope it still fits her when she needs it.

Then things kind of went down hill from there. I am working on a quilt but I am not ready to share that yet. It is a lot of pieces and it will only really make sense when the top is done so I am not sharing it quite yet. So instead, I was going to share today with all of you my experiment with the lovely vegetable red/pink dye of the beets we cooked last night. I just did not want to waste the beautiful color so I got out my pretreated fabric and did some tie-dye wraps...and then I forgot about putting them in the dye after dinner.

Let's just say overnight it turned into a not so beautiful brownish prune color. So to actually do something I got out some turquoise spray dye and some yellow liquid dye and set to work on one of the pieces.

 

Only in my first stage here. I just heat set it after wrapping it in plastic.  I undid it and there is not near enough dye so I wrapped it up again for a second go round with more dye.  Stay tuned!

 

 

Lastly some WIP that has nothing to do with me but is happening anyway...my calla lily is growing!!!! I am so excited.  Isn't it cool?

 

 



 But wait....there is more!!!

I almost forgot. Earlier this week I did a little tip page on ripping out quilting if you have to that might be good if you are a new fmquilter. Check it out HERE
So you know I had to rip out quilting this week...see not too productive!!! but hopefully it will help someone else.
