Hello,

Although it’s a bit late—a quick reminder that the DEMQG will not meet in August.

Registration for QuiltCon opens  on August 16!

Below you’ll find communication from Pam Smith re our September meeting.

Melissa


Good morning Guild Mates!

For our September DEMGQ program I will share marbled dyeing with you! Below are a variety of marbled dyeing links that will give you an idea of what we will be doing and offer some inspiration: 


I have included a supply list for you as well. We will be using Procion chemical dyes, which I will have prepared for you to use. I will also have a bucket of soda ash water to presoak your pieces prior to dyeing. I will have a variety of other tools for your use...spatulas, chopsticks, toothpicks, combs, etc.

Let's plan to begin the FUN at 10:30 and go until 2:30 or so. I look forward to sharing this technique with you! See you soon.

Piecefully, Pam

OK, Guild Mates, let's try this again! Attached is the same supply list, but hopefully it's formatted so that everyone can open it. I apologize for the inconvenience. If there is still a problem opening it, just let me know. Thank you all for your patience!

Piecefully, Pam

Hi Pam. I’m really looking forward to learning this technique. I have a couple of questions. Do we need to prep the fabric? Some videos suggest soaking it in soda ash and water. 

Also will the class be at the Millsboro Art League? It sounds like we will be working outside, so I just want to be sure that’s where we will be. 

Thanks,
Ginny

Good evening, Guild mates!

I'm glad to hear of your interest and excitement for our September DEMQG meeting. I will be hosting the marbled dyeing event at my home:

18 Harborview Rd
Lewes, DE 19958

Due to the potential for spills and splashes, this is being planned as an outdoor activity. I will have a bucket of soda ash water prepped and ready to use. Fabrics can soak in the bath for 10-20 minutes then be wrung out and ready to marble dye. While soaking, we can talk dyeing, choose tools, prep the shaving cream, visit with one another, etc.

Fingers crossed that we will have nice weather! As we get closer, I will ask for a head count so as to figure the set-up and logistics on this end.

FYI, one can of shaving cream dyed approximately 4 fat quarters for me. Some things to consider...commercially produced fabrics are only "dyed/printed" on one side, will you use your fabrics artfully, and will they be frequently laundered or not?

I think that does it for now. Thanks, stay cool and have a nice evening.

Piecefully, Pam
