Finishing Touches

We put the finishing touches (literally) on Alison's quilt today. We used white fabric paint to apply our hand prints. We both signed one of the middle hand prints for a label. I love the way it turned out. My only question would be, Which is the back???? If this is the back, I like it almost better than the front.

Spraying Hands

Alison wanted to have hands on the back of her quilt so she got out her diffuser and I supplied the Procion dyes. Here are the hands with the star quilt (which I finished on Saturday) faintly showing through. I hung the hands on the railing over the star quilt where it is residing until it goes to its new home.


Here she is spraying my hand with the dark color. As you can probably see, she has already done her hand with a red background.


Here's how my hand looked right after spraying. Nothing a little bleach can't cure.

Circle Quilt

Yesterday we finished the circles and sewed them down. Now we have to assemble them. We are thinking of doing some dyeing for the background. We tried out a brown border and it looks pretty good. We are thinking of a line of orange rick rack down the middle of the binding.
