#wipWednesday
I was hoping it might be finished Wednesday today but as I was blocking and ironing it I spotted something I need to do 🫣 drat. Oh well, back to the hoop!
This is a mindblowing technique and I'm in awe at the skill and patience of the people doing this craft.

Here’s the tea dying results, for the remaining colours I had, of these cotton threads.
The only one with a significant change was the blue one. 🤔
Good reason to do a test piece first!
📺 I just posted a ‘Tea Dying Cotton Threads’ video, if you’re interested in more information.
Playing with fabric first began for me when I was 6 and given my first needle & spool of thread. 🙏🥰🪡🧵
My love for stitching fabric into a quilt began when I was 13 - this is my first quilt top, which I made my hand.
When did it begin for you?

Here’s my tea dying results:
I 🧡 that darker orange! 👏
The ecru is lovely. 😊
The one on the right was soaked an extra 10 minutes, but not any darker.
I don’t like how the blue turned out, but the bright pink turned into a lovely rose. 🩷
