Monthly Archives: April 2010 I’m quite proud of myself for figuring out how to make a digital presentation… seems like I’ve successfully bypassed the “slide” era. Right now I’m polishing it up so that I can present it next week to the class. Look! I can even hook it up to the television in my hotel room! Ah the...

Clever! Good luck with your presentation (I’m sure you’ll do great) and enjoy the class (as I know you always do).

That looks very professional. I am so thrilled for you!!! I wish I could see your presentation. Good luck with it all.  In preparations for my trip, I find myself sorting through my fabric… ironing and folding… separating pieces by quality… assembling them into clusters of color and value… and narrowing down this massive pile to the select few that will come with me to Ohio later this week. It’s a monster of a task, my brain... by robin 4 comments

Hi. I am going to help with a 3rd grade class quilt.I like the idea of their drawing and lettering on the quilt. Seems like you are currently on a class quilt.May I call you? Lots of questions…one important one…could 3rd graders handle the fabric ink? Or if they do paper drawings have you ever scanned them to fabric? Thanks,

Dear Robin,

This is so true, but so hard to do. I think I went 10 years without making anything except Halloween costumes and saddlepads for my daughter and her friends. At least the saddlepads were quilted! Reading, studying art, taking the kids to museums, doing projects with them, at least they keep you thinking. And now with one kid headed across country to grad school, and the other soon to college, I have more time for ME, but I want the kids back! It may not feel like it at the time, but it really does go too fast.  With this new round of dyeing, I’ve had to get back into my little dye house and tidy things up. Goodness knows what little multi-legged creatures make themselves at home in here… glad they left when they heard me coming. To store my dyes, I use a little playhouse built for the kids long ago.... by robin 8 comments

You have done it once again! Superb read!

Thanks for the clarification. I agree with the “extra’s” that are surprises after you are done. I think I definitely need to use a lighter weight plastic for the base piece. It had folds I couldn’t completely remove.

Love what you have done with the dye house. Your work is really beautiful, you are a true artist and an inspiration to me, Robyn!

The fabric over the last few posts is just beautiful! I can’t wait to see what quilts will be made from all the pieces you are dyeing right now. Have a wonderful trip to Ohio. We have had a beautiful spring and everything will be in bloom and greening up when you arrive.

Love it, love it, love it! Love the new quilt–very lively,energetic, yet sophisticated.

I had darker edges when I first started dyeing and later discovered that non PFD fabric was the cause. The non PFD had a factory finish which ended at the selvedge, where the roller did not reach. I always say, we live and learn.

So pretty and very tidy. Ready for summer!  My first stack of fabric… all washed out and folded neatly. I had forgotten what a thrill this is to see the fabric stacked up like this. It gave me such a jolt to have this finished, I started a baby quilt that I’d like to take with me on my travels. Before I visit... by robin 2 comments

I love the colors you have going on in the background — yellow and purple, blue and orange, but the compliments are subtle and everything is playing harmoniously with each other.
