Dyeing fabric I have only begun to scratch the surface of this technique, but I can see that it will be lots of fun! These samples are all done with Rit dyes, which are readily available and easy to use. Since I'm not an expert, I'm not going to put directions here, just look up 'low water immersion dyeing'. I'm hoping to experiment with the fiber reactive dyes in the coming year, as those often have even better results on cotton fabric. I hope my "12 Days of Art Quilting Techniques" have inspired you to do something creative in the coming year!

Beret NelsonI am a homeschooling mom of three fun kids, who are now old enough that I have a little time to pursue my passion for sewing! After several years of making quilted cards and art quilts, I'm now designing kits and patterns. Some of them have even been in Keepsake Quilting! I teach classes at local quilt shops, and would love to do more traveling and teaching eventually. I also have many tutorials, including some on you tube. I am blessed to live in Alaska where I am surrounded by the inspiration provided by the beauty of God's creation!
