Glad to hear you are ok.
You have been missed!
Hello,
(Sorry fot my worse English, but I’m from the Netherlands.)
I’ve read the article of the color catchers because I have the same problem. I’ve bought hand dyed fabrics from Gee’s Bend (they are beautiful), but I don’t dare to use them for a quilt. My plans are making a quilt for my son, a quilt with flags and the colors are red, white, blue, yellow and green. But the fabrics are bleeding continiously! What will I do now? Buy others? I have use a whole package of color catching rags already! Please, your advise….
I think you need to find either some Retayne and wash your fabrics in those so you can use them. Retayne is a bleed retardant that will stop the fabrics from bleeding. You can purchase it online. Here is a link where I know that they have it: http://www.cherrywoodfabrics.com.
Thanks all for your kindness and patience. Yes, everyone is fine — just buried under an avalanche of work. Quilting isn’t always pretty : )
I have several podcasts in my head that I haven’t recorded yet — which I will remedy soon. I realized that when I was working on “the big deadline”, that I wasn’t paying any attention to what else was going on in the quilt world at all! I just had my head down, working. I had no idea what was new or what was going on with anyone else.
Now that that is behind me, I began traveling again two weeks ago, but it gives me so much to talk about for the podcast — which is great!!
I’ll be on my way to North Carolina to visit with my kiddo’s there before going on to Williamsburg for Elly Sienkiewicz’s Applique Academy, where I will be working on a new coat as my Artist in Residence project. I know that I will have lots to talk about from the Academy.
Thanks, quilters!! You’re the best!!
Thank you very much for your advise!
Hi Annie, missing your podcasts so much. I love to hear you talk away, and even your new Vidcasts, so hopefully you will get time soon to fit them in again. Having regular podcasts to listen to whilst I work is so motivational, so don’t forget about us. Regards Vanessa (Australia)
