FibreArts Group

Yesterday I hosted my FibreArts group. There were two planned activities -- silk microwave dyeing with Kool-Aid and shaving cream marbling. The latter was a bust because the shaving cream was old and didn't spray. So we did the k-a dyeing. It was fun but the dye colours come out rather pale. We all agreed it was a good activity to do with kids and grandkids.
It was supposed to be a show and share of what we've been working on for the library exhibit. I had my finished piece and my second one in progress. I received some lovely feedback for the first and some good suggestions for the second so I'm ready to get back to the drawing board and figure out how to embroider a feather on water soluble stabilizer.
I also have to get cracking on my other quilt show quilts -- finish quilting (not that much left), sleeves, labels.
