Spirals

Where has the last month gone?!?!?! I think part of it disappeared with a weekend trip and then recovery, scrapbooking, starting a new quilting group, attending an existing group every week, shopping for more fabric, a little dyeing, reorganizing my quilting area, etc., AND I'm trying to learn to knit!! Hopefully more on that later!! I have also been reading alot this month. Read Jodi Picoult's My Sisters Keeper & Nineteen Minutes-both very good. Also read Debbie Macomber's Shop on Blossom Street and have started A Good Yarn-two new favorite authors!!

I didn't get DHs quilt made yet but it is cut out and I will finally start sewing on it Thursday. I wasn't happy with the selection of fabrics I got so went out and got more, now I have 30+ reds and 30+ blacks and think it will be much nicer than less than 15 of each. Photos of some of the blocks next week.

Now for the tease in my title, here are the spirals I made, some for a swap and the extras for my stash. I used Dharma clear yellow and two of their new colors, carribean blue and imperial purple. The first picture shows the fabric tied up ready for dye, the next with the dye applied and then the results. The fabric in the smaller pieces is 1/9th yard and the larger piece is a FQ.
