My title picture is of one of the brides on my "Brides" quilt that I am working on. All of the brides are from my family tree, but this bride and the girl she's smooching on are my lovely daughters.
I am learning CQ Skills to make a memory quilt and documenting my progress as I go.
I did some tea dying yesterday and it was a blast! I used blueberry, black cherry, peach, and pomegranate raspberry flavors (left to right, top to bottom) and dyed a couple different muslin along with a variety of lace. Yummy! Here's the results:
Dear Connie, the laces are lovely. I always worry about the tannic acid in tea, though. (???) But not being a tea drinker, I don`t have it around anyway, LOL. Now we want to see what you are going to do with these beautiful laces. Feel better soon, sweetie. Hugs, Cat K
