Fibre Fling 7
This year I'm participating in Fibre Fling again with Out-of-the Box. The dates are April 6 and 7th. It will be held in the same place, Kitchissippi United Church. Below is the flyer with all the details. I will be selling my hand printed fabrics and this year I'll also sell some hand dyed fat quarters that I snow dyed! I'll have my eco print greeting cards there as well. I'm still working out whether I'll submit any pieces to the show. I hope to see some of you there!

Snow dyeing vs dyeing in a jar
So I thought I would try comparing the results snow dyeing a quarter yard of white cotton fabric and taking the same sized piece of fabric and scrunching it into a small mason jar and pouring over liquid dyes. I used the same colours and amounts of dye for each. I used navy blue, scarlet and turquoise. Here is the snow dyed piece below.
And here is my jar dyed piece below.
I like both of them although they're definitely different. So what did I conclude from this? Even if I don't have snow I can get some interesting results.
