Pay close<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>attention to the orientation of the blocks. This picture does not include borders. I am leaving borders up to you. Because the edges are on the bias, pin your border on and then SEW THE BORDERS ON WITH THE BORDER FABRIC ON THE BOTTOM! This will allow your feed dogs to pull in any extra bias fabric. It will also help to </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Rounded MT Bold"; font-size: 14pt;">keep you from stretching the bias edges.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold"; font-size: large;">So, before we get started on this month's Clue, I thought I'ld be that person who shows you all her pictures. LOL, feel free to scroll down! Here's what has been happening in my life....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold"; font-size: large;">This month has been so much fun! Bob and I have started our traveling adventures. OK, so we went to southern Missouri camping, but, we had sooooo much fun. The dogs loved it and my cat, China, had her longest camping trip to date. Our best traveling friends, Skip and Denise and their 2 dogs went also. A few pictures of what we like to call the McNew Family Campground. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold"; font-size: large;">It's been a wild month! Hubby and I drove to Sandy, Utah for the UQSM show. I had the honor of teaching some AMAZING quilters in my 7 classes! It was so much fun, but exhausting. The drive thru the mountains was beautiful. I was able to re-connect with some great friends and spent waaaay to much $$ at my favorite vendors! I promise to blog next week with lots of pics! But, on to what you all have been patiently waiting for......</span></div>

It's time to put it all together</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial rounded mt bold"; font-size: 16pt;">, but there’s a twist. You have to decide which final layout you want to use!

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">First I had two amazing opportunities to teach at National Quilt Shows, MQX New England in Manchester, New Hampshire and MQS in Cedar Rapid, Iowa. I had my friend, Dusty Farrell come teach local long armers in my studio and make a return appearance to demo for my long arm guild. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I reconnected with BBBs (Best Biker Buds), traveled with more BBBs AND met some awesome new biker friends, ALL IN THE SAME TRIP! A week riding in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've also been busy signing next year's teaching contracts and quilting class samples for my NEW classes. More details to follow....... Come see me at the Houston Quilt Festival to see my latest samples. I will be in the Country Stitchin' booth Thursday and Saturday. Don't be shy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">But, the BIGGEST NEWS??????</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I HAVE A NEW GRANDSON ***** DYLAN ******, absolutely adorable and perfect!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We also had a scare with my Mom, a car accident. She's OK now, but it was a lot of all-hands-on-deck for awhile. Thank you for all your prayers.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My friend Dar of <a href="http://darspatchworkgarden.blogspot.com/2016/08/quilts-of-valor-block-drive.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Dar's Patchwork Garden</span></a> has a Quilt of Valor block drive thru the end of the year.

First, our good friends Glen & Sherry went on an epic adventure, riding their Harley's to the West Coast, 4,400+ miles! Soooo.... we got to babysit their dog, Chase, a Golden Retriever. Chase is best buds with our Boxer, Buddy and fit right in with our pack. Nap time was a favorite activity.<br />

Then, Dusty & Stephanie Farrell of <a href="http://stores.cscountrystitchin.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Country Stitchin'</span></b></a> came to visit! We set up my studio, borrowing an extra Gammill from my friend, Judy. Three Gammills in my studio! With Dusty teaching classes for the next 4 days, we were set. Oh, and yes, Cookie, their Chihuahua joined the pack. So we were now up to 5 dogs and a cat!<br />

Dusty's classes began early Wednesday morning. He demo-ed some amazing ruler designs and background fillers. Everyone had plenty of hands-on time and personal attention. You can see from their expressions, the students had fun while absorbing all the information Dusty shared!<br />

Dusty also did some quilting on leather, two biker-style vests and one student's chaps. My next blog post will be all about our adventures in quilting leather. I've ordered 2 vests for me to quilt on, so maybe I'll have those done by then.</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First I dug into my stash of Burmese silk I started collecting also a couple years ago. I was so prepared for this quilt, just didn't know it! The bottom roll is Burmese silks, the top fabric I added for more color variety.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I started collecting pictures of family and friends giving Ha to their grandchildren. I printed these on fabric and hand appliqued them on to the Silk. A 4x8 sheet of foam board in my living room and many hours of piecing later, I had a quilt top. Then the fun began!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In BeBe, not quite straight or flat, but I'm now chanting "You can quilt that out" in my head. I used only Glide thread by Fil-Tec with mostly Magna-Glide bobbins. I wound bobbins with matching Glide thread if there was no matching Pre-wound. I used Fil-Tec's Monopoly thread to stitch-in-the-ditch every seam with NO THREAD BREAKAGE! Glide in my Gammill Classic+ always gives me great tension, and believe me, I check often on my show quilts!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each Silk has 1 or 2 pictures and all are quilted differently. Hearts in the center for Bob, the love of my life, and our first Great-Grandchild. Creating all the different motifs gave me the opportunity to express my creativity (or so I'm thinking!).</span></div>

PICTURES!!!!It seems like forever since I posted, but I have been so busy. As some of you know, I have started teaching at some of the National Long Arm shows.<br />
<br />
Next week I head out to MQS in Cedar Rapids. I still have a few openings in my Tuesday hands-on longarm class "Background Fillers Revisited". We'll be stitching out 20+ designs (I've recently added several more) and learning how to combine them into free flowing backgrounds that still look cohesive thru out your quilt. Or, if your interested in learning more about Rulers/Templates, come join me Tuesday afternoon for "I Bought this Ruler, Now What?". We'll be covering the basics of ruler use, and looking at a multitude of rulers. Never be afraid of a ruler again! <a href="http://www.mqsshow.org/registration" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>MQS Registration</b></span></a><br />
<br />
In April I headed East, the furthest East I've been in the US. I spent 3 days teaching at MQX New England. My students were AWESOME! Hopefully they'll have me back next year. There were some beautiful quilts there. As a teacher, I had the honor of awarding a Teacher's Ribbon to a quilt of my choice. I choose Jane O.'s Quilt, "Gus and Maria's Agave Garden". This is my favorite kind of quilting, all the bright colored threads on the black background!<br />

Hubby and I spent a few days sight seeing on the way up and also on the way back, a mini vacation. We had a picnic on the beach at Lake Erie, in the snow, in 29', in the van. We drove thru Vermont's mountains, absolutely beautiful. Snow on the ground, beautiful scenery, maple syrup, I could definitely visit there again. On the way home we stopped at Gettysburg and Antietam. Hubby is a history buff.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I spent the morning at my Stitch 'n Time Quilt Guild meeting. All of the "Look Kevin, I can do Scrappy" Mystery Quilts were due. I was amazed and doing my little happy dance when I saw all the quilts members had made! I am happy to share our Show 'n Tell of Mystery Quilts with you.<br />
<br />
If you have completed yours, please send me pics to post.<br />
<br />
I love how they all turned out. Mine is in batiks, but I may have to make another one in Thimbleberries or Kansas Troubles. In case you didn't know, this Mystery Quilt is named after my friend Kevin, (blogs at <a href="http://kevinthequilter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Kevin The Quilter</span></b></a>) who I consider the King of Scraps. This first quilt is his. He reversed the lights and darks, using golds and blacks. I love how it turned out!<br />

Over a year ago, my friend Casey York of <a href="https://studioloblog.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Studiolo</span></b></a> asked me to quilt her quilt top for her next book. That book has been released, so I can now share the process I used to quilt it for her.<br />
<br />
First things first, the book..... <br />

When you buy your copy, check out page 14, 122 and 124 to see pictures of my quilting! The name of the quilt is Corona de Flores.<br />
<br />
When Casey first showed me the quilt top, I was super excited to see all that negative space and my mind immediately started designing the quilting. Casey wanted it quilted in a medalion style, modern quilting, but with a little traditional thrown in.<br />
<br />
My process begins with laying the top out and soaking it in for a few days.<br />

I decided to treat this as a Round Robin Whole cloth, designing each "row" individually. To keep the quilting cohesive, I incorporated key elements through out the rows. The appliqued flowers were the focal row and inspired the center and corner motifs. I drew out this pattern while traveling one day and, after meeting with Casey and sharing ideas, got to work quilting.</div>

I used painter's tape to mark out the rounds and also as a quilting guide. This way I knew where the rounds should be without extensive use of a marking pen.</div>

I used two layers of batting, Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 and Quilter's Dream Wool. The top layer of wool adds dimension to the quilting and the applique.

The center motif is based on the appliqued flowers. This flower motif is repeated in the corners.</div>

To complete the designing of the center flower, I placed a sheet of Quilter's View Film over the quilt and used a dry erase pen. The curved cross hatching has a more modern feel. Micro stippling will make the flower pop.<br />

The next round was the space between the center square and the flower ring. Casey liked the idea of clam shells. I gave them a modern twist by quilting them in decreasing rows.</div>

The center is quilted with the curved cross-hatching. I changed my mind, and instead of micro-stippling behind the flower, I used my version of water.</div>

I almost stopped here, with only the curved arcs, because I loved the motion it added to the quilt. Obviously the cross-hatching won! Then came the decreasing rows of clam shells.</div>

Finally, the flower round. I used monofilament thread from Fil-Tec to outline every flower. I also quilted through the appliques to add dimension and to anchor each applique. With the amount of quilting in the other rounds, the applique would have puckered without it. Stippling around the flowers completed the round.</div>

Each corner in the final round has a flower, water background fill and curved arcs. It took a little mind work to remember to 'spin' the arcs in the right direction in all four corners. I've started the piano keys in the final border. That wide, unquilted border will be filled with Greek Key.<br />

I may quilt my piano keys a little different than others. I know I will be quilting half inch keys. I know that piano keys 'suck' in fabric and often shorten corner fabric. I marked 1" lines with a blue water soluble pen on the batting. I started on the outer corners and quilted the 1 inch lines on both ends, anchoring the fabric corners. I then quilted from the side to center on 1" marks and then from the other side to center. I then quilted the 1/2" lines. I also quilt my keys from off the quilt in and then straight back out, so they are double stitched. I repeated this on the sides. It may seem like extra work, but it helps me keep the quilt border width from 'shrinking' unevenly with the quilt's center.</div>

I'm glad I finally was able to share this quilting journey with you. It was sooooo hard to not share! I hope you have been inspired by my quilting and will try some of the patterns/ideas from Casey's book. I have some Kaffe fabric that I can't wait to use to make ME one!</div>

Final Reveal!!!Wow, I can't believe it's been 6 months already! I hope you're all ready for my big reveal of my Mystery Quilt...<br />
<br />
But first, Some other news. As you know, I will be teaching at MQX New England<span style="color: #cc0000;"> <b>(<a href="http://www.mqxshow.com/MQX/East/Classes/2016Faculty/AnnMcNew/index.cfm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Ann's Classes</span></a>)</b> </span>in April and at MQS Cedar Rapids <b><span style="color: #cc0000;">(<a href="http://www.mqsshow.org/ClassesByTeacher/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Classes, scroll way down to find me</span></a>)</span></b> in May. I will be teaching a Ruler/Template class at both. We will be discussing lots of rulers by lots of vendors. Rulers are my Quilting Passion and I can't wait to share lots of information with you all. Things like, how to hold, what all those lines mean and especially, what else can we do with them. We'll also be looking at some of my favorites and discussing why I like them, with lots of tips and tricks thrown in.<br />
<br />
So, to make things a little more interesting and because I am always looking at new ways to use a ruler, I have decided to have a couple 'contests' for my students. I will be, at random, posting pictures on Facebook of designs using various SECRET, unidentified rulers. Don't post your guess in the comments, save them for class. For every ruler you guess right, you will put your name into the drawing for a prize.<br />
<br />
Ok, now on to the Mystery Quilt, the Final Reveal....<br />

<br />
If you felt the Earth move, that was me doing the Happy Dance! I am excited and over the top happy to announce my teaching engagements for next year. I don't know where to start, so here they are in order.<br />
<br />
In January, I get to return to Hunter Heirloom in Warrensburg, MO. I just love Amy and Joe the owners, they are so easy and fun to work for. I will be teaching hands-on ruler classes(s), a feather class and a background class. Check with <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Hunter-Heirloom-Quilting-198996256796849/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Hunter Heirloom</span></b></a> for dates and times.<br />
<br />
April 6-8, I will be heading to Manchester, New Hampshire to teach at MQX, New England!! I will be teaching a Hands-on Feather class, a Ruler lecture and a Background lecture! To see my classes visit the MQX site "<a href="http://www.mqxshow.com/MQX/East/Classes/2016Faculty/AnnMcNew/index.cfm" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Ann McNew Classes</b></span></a>" and register soon, classes are filling up!<br />

Since I have never been this far east, we are turning this into a vacation, Some sight seeing on the way out, including a trip to visit my friends Dusty & Stephanie Farrell from <a href="http://stores.cscountrystitchin.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>Country Stitchin</b></span></a> in Cambridge, PA! Then some Civil War sights on the way home.<br />
<br />
May 10-14 I will at <a href="http://www.mqsshow.org/2016classes/" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">MQS Classes</span></b></a> in Cedar Rapids!!! I will be teaching on Tuesday, a hands-on background class and a Ruler Lecture. The rest of the week, you will find me either in Dusty's classes (that cute little assistant in the back...lol) or helping in the Country Stitchin booth, or wandering around spending money.... If you are a member of IMQA, you can register for classes now. Again don't wait too long, classes fill up fast and I would love to see you in my classes!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Four months in and I'm still excited to say, "<b>ALL OVER THE WORLD!!</b>" Quilters are stitching those pesky 1/2 square triangles thanks to me. Ok, once again, maybe not just because of me, but we do have an increasing number of quilters participating in our Mystery. A guild in Canada has joined us! So keep making those 1/2 square triangles, you will need them next month. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I will be teaching 3 classes, a hands-on Feather class, a Ruler lecture, and a Background lecture/demo. If you are anywhere near Manchester, New Hampshire, come see me. I love meeting Quilters and making new Quilty friends! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Three months in and I'm excited to say, "<b>ALL OVER THE WORLD!!</b>" Quilters are stitching those pesky 1/2 square triangles thanks to me. Ok, maybe not just because of me, but we do have an awesome number of quilters participating in our Mystery. I think Quilters in Australia are the furthist. </span><br />

<br />
I'm so happy to have received so many responses from quilters ALL OVER THE WORLD! I can't wait to see pictures of the finished quilts. In fact, I'm way to excited to wait. Sooo, I would love for some of you to take pictures of your piles of cut pieces for me to post, just a little taste of fabric for the rest of us!<br />
<br />
As we start Month 2, remember - each month's directions will be posted on the 2nd Tuesday of the month, for 6 months. If you or your local quilt guild would like to use my pattern for this Mystery Quilt, please feel free. You have my permission to make copies for your guild. All I ask is that you give me credit for the pattern. If you would like it in PDF format, please email me (atticthreads@yahoo.com) and I will add you to my email list.<br />
<br />
I've been asked to create a button for this Mystery Quilt and I would love to, as soon as I find someone who knows how to do that!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Scrappy, scrappy, scrappy! I’ve learned from my friends, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">to love the look of a scrappy quilt. So, I dedicate this quilt to Kevin, (<a href="http://kevinthequilter.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Kevin The Quilter</span></a>) who challenges me to get out of my comfort zone, and to Lee Etta, who inspires me to get scrappily creative.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So, let’s talk fabric. The fabric requirements are pretty </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">simple. All the piecing is based on </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">2 1/2” strips. The largest piece will be 2.5” x 7.5”, the smallest will be 2.5” x 2.5”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Pull from your stash or use jelly rolls. Your fabric should be lights and darks. There should be a definite division of color depth, blendy-blendy mediums that can go either way should not be used.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I used 3 jelly rolls, 1 light and 2 dark. There were a couple of strips that were questionable mediums, so I pulled from my stash to replace them. If you have a lot of dark, but want the look of a single light fabric, you will need 2 yds for your back-ground. You will need 1/2 yd each of 4 fabrics for borders.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">You will also need 2” finished Thangles for those pesky 1/2 square triangles. (16 strips)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The finished quilt will measure 74” x 86”.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Your assignment Month 1…….. Go shopping in your stash!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b>Month 1—Let’s Get Cutting!</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Remember, everything is cut from 2.5” strips. If you are using jelly rolls, cut the largest pieces first. I laid out rows of strips in piles of 4 strips each and cut from multiple fabrics with each cut. This way all of one size wasn’t of the same fabric.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Put each size piece in a bag marked with the strip size.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">From your lights (background) cut the following:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> # of pieces length</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> 50 7.5”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> 48 3.25” (yep 1/4”)******</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> 172 2.5”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">From your darks cut the following:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> 61 7.5”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> 88 6.5”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> 152 4.5”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> 48 3.25” (yep 1/4”)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> 100 2.5”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">******if using yardage for background, cut 16 strips at 9.75”</span><br />

Who knew it would be so much fun? and addicting? This is where it all started. I hand dyed all the fabric I used in my quilt "Opposites Attract". It took 3rd place at MQS in the Fabric Challenge. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
But, apparently, I could not stop there. I have been hand dying fabric for the last 2 weeks! I've been asked to show my "technique". So, first let me say, I dye like I cook. I don't measure, hardly ever, and Hubby thinks I'm great cook. Everyone loves my hand dyes so I must be getting it right. Second, I'm all into EASY. If you know me, you know I don't follow the rules. Third, I'm into recycling. That means that old butter tub really is useful. Fourth, I don't like all those chemicals. There are lots of videos on the internet showing how to dye, most use multiple chemicals. These are often hard to find and have lots of safety rules. (refer back to second above)<br />
<br />
My list of supplies.... not a lot.<br />
<br />
1. Fabric. I always use KONA Prepared for dyeing or PFD<br />
2. Salt. Just plain old cheap table salt.<br />
3. RIT Liquid Dye (I don't use powder dye because of the dye dust) and this can usually<br />
be found at most Grocery stores in laundry supplies.<br />
4. Rubber gloves. Old clothes.<br />
5. Assorted plastic containers, i.e. butter tub, ice cream tub, coffee tub...<br />
NEVER NEVER NEVER USE ANY CONTAINERS THAT HAVE BEEN<br />
USED WITH DYES FOR FOOD! NEVER NEVER NEVER!!!!<br />

Unfold the fabric. I used 2 yards. Scrunch it up. Place in the sink and completely soak with HOT tap water. Do not wring the fabric. I do this in a stainless steel sink and have never dyed my sink. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Place the fabric into a plastic container. I'm using a gallon ice cream tub. I use a large butter tub for 1 yard of fabric. You want it to stay scrunched up tight in the container. Fill the container with HOT tap water until the fabric is just covered. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Remove the fabric from the tub and place to the side. Do not wring the fabric. It will drain some water off, that's OK. </div>

See, we didn't have to measure the water needed for our dye bath! Put on your rubber gloves, no one wants a dyed hand. At this point, shake in some salt, about 2-3 tablespoons is fine. Pour in some dye. I use about 1/2 the bottle for 2 yards. The more you add, the more intense the color will be on the fabric. Less dye, less intense. Stir well. some colors like yellow and orange need a little more stirring. I use a plastic fork.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Pick up the fabric trying to not un-scrunch it. Do not wring the fabric. Place it in the dye tub gently. Push the fabric down (I use that plastic fork) until all the fabric has been slightly colored by the dye. You will have air pockets in the fabric. That's OK, you're suppose to. You will not have enough water to completely cover the fabric. That's OK, you're not suppose to. The fabric sticking out will dye lighter. The fabric on the bottom will dye darker. There will be varying shades of color through out the scrunches.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Put the lid on the container and let it sit for at least 3 hours. The color needs time to develop. If you don't want a lot of light color in your fabric, you can periodically push the fabric down in the tub (with the plastic fork). I have even set some fabric to dye and left it over night.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When the time has elapsed, open the tub and run COLD tap water in over the fabric. I tilt the tub so the water runs out the lower edge and aim the flow in the top of the tub. Run the water in this way until the water running from the tub is fairly clear. Dump the fabric into the sink and keep running COLD water over it. Use the plastic fork to spread the fabric open while rinsing. Once the water runs fairly clear from the fabric, I throw it in the washer. I wash it using my regular laundry soap. I usually throw in something to help it agitate, like an old towel or Hubby's jeans. I wash in COLD water with my machine set for 1 size larger load and extra rinse.</div>

I first dyed with Lemon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It wasn't as dark as I wanted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dye bath 2 - I re-scrunched and twisted the fabric. I only filled the container with about 1 inch of water and used Tangerine dye. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Still not done. Couldn't help myself... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dye 3 -- I had some Scarlet dye left, so I mixed with HOT water in a small squirt bottle. I laid the fabric out in the grass and squirted it. Some streaks, some dots, some dye pools. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Yep, you guessed right, I just couldn't stop!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dye bath 4 -- I re-scrunched the fabric with a twist. I filled the container with 1/2 inch of water and Royal blue dye.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I completely rinsed and washed and dried the fabric between Dye baths.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I probably should stop now.... not sure what to do with this 2 yard piece of Hand Dyed fabric. There really is no white in it, that's pale yellow that did not photograph well. </div>

I like to keep it secret till after the MQS quilt show. It was fun to work on, tried some new techniques, and, even though it didn't win anything, I still love how it turned out. (it was held for consideration for it's category and Judges Choice).<br />
<br />
Last summer, while camping, I played with painting fabric. I placed a bunch of rocks and logs on the picnic table to create hills and valleys. I then draped the Kona PFD fabric over my piles and painted away at random. <br />

Next, I created my Eagle Applique. I've been working on this pattern for a couple years. I started with a photo I took years ago when Hubby and I were on vacation in Minnesota. Each time I've used my pattern, I've increased the number of pieces. Now I'm up to over 70. There is no sewing on this piece until I get it on BeBe, my longarm. All edges are turned under and machine appliqued on BeBe. My Eagle is made using only Stonehenge fabric.</div>

I completely stabilized the background, placed the Eagle, and started having fun! My Eagle is thread painted using only Fantastico, Lava and Rainbows threads from Superior Threads. I then outlined the Eagle parts with King Tut, also by Superior.</div>

I was shocked to see that the last post was in February! My New Year's resolution to post more often apparently just fell to pieces! I have promised them I would try very hard to keep up with posting. That being said, what's happening?<br />
A lot!<br />
<br />
Radar (pieced by my cohort <a href="http://kevinthequilter.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Kevin, the Quilter</span></b></a> and quilted by yours truely) has been a very busy boy. He was featured in On Track magazine. On Track is published by IMQA (International Machine Quilters Association). We had a four page spread! Because Radar was in the magazine, I was also invited to place an ad!<br />

Next, Radar paid a visit to AQS Paducah! Although we didn't win anything, we had a lot of fun. This was the first time I was able to go to the awards ceremony. The cheers and squeals of the winning quilters filled the auditorium, especially a Girl Scout troop that won a ribbon.</div>

I will be there all week as <a href="http://cscountrystitchin.com/"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Dusty Farrell's</span></b></a> (Country Stitchin') Teacher Angel. Drop in and say hello if you're at the show! I have 3 quilts there this year, another nail biter. It's always a great show with lots of amazing quilts. </div>
