Recently I posted on some of the several lists and groups I belong to asking for feedback on whether or not to vend at a fine craft/art show. Here’s what I wrote: I just got back from a fine craft show for which I wasn’t prepared. The booth cost $100 and I sold $55, and …
Some of you may have seen this already: I have entered DippyDyes into Intuit’s ‘Small Business Growing Strong’ contest. They will grant $5000 each to a total of 15 small businesses to help them grow. You can see my wish and vote here, and please vote as often as you can. Why should you? Not …

Just found this draft – it was going to be a reply to a post on QuiltArt in January 2011, but my mind started wandering down so many avenues I didn’t know where to start. I (and my husband) have often been entertained by different incidents relating to being the ‘wrong’ milieu. It helps to …
We’ve all made these – something that’s just plain ugly to our eyes. I made the square at left as a potential sample for my manipulations class. I really did not care for it so the first recourse was to overdye it. Still no improvement, I think – two layers of color, but very flat. …

I’ll be in booth 106, as of this writing, and I am going to be introducing some new fabrics for garment sewers, as well as my snow-dyed and discharged fabrics, polyesters and wool roving. And I will be teaching ‘Dye Boot Camp’ again …
Found this link on the Surface Design website: Textility, at the Visual Arts Center of NJ – that page has a slideshow. It’s located about 20 miles from the Quilt Fest of NJ. Both will be open March 1 – 4, so plan on going!
Nothing all that exciting to post about, at least not without sounding really vain . . . . I’m in the lobby of the Lancaster Marriott listening to a jazz trio (?) – maybe more – catching up on my email and winding down for the day. They’re good, just too loud to get close …
Had fun making these – they seem to be addictive, like I need another one. I will have dyed Peltex and the pattern for making them at the upcoming shows. Still dyeing like a madwoman getting ready for those – over 100 yards of new work and counting! The shows we will be at: Hampton, …
Hard to believe 6 weeks have passed since I last posted. If troubles come in threes, we’ve had it for a while. After the bad brake incident in September, we came home to a hole in the roof, with water running down from the third floor to the entrance hall. Yuck. Got it fixed (there …
