Title: Dye It! Paint It! Quilt It!: Making and Using One-Of-A-Kind Fabrics in Quilts  Author: Mori, Joyce  Released: 1996-04-01  Publisher: Chilton Book Co - Radnor, PA  ISBN: 9780801987373  Format: Paperback  Category: Crafts, Hobbies & Home  Last Updated: 2018-06-17  Rating: -1  Pages: 160  Description: Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Review There's no end of great quilt fabric available, but for a truly unique look many quilters enjoy creating their own, so that not only the quilt pattern but also the textiles themselves convey personal style. Immersion, direct, and tie-dyeing methods are all explained here, as well as various techniques of fabric painting. Twelve quilt projects (including templates and diagrams for each) demonstrate how to transform hand-dyed materials into attractive finished quilts. There are also instructions and suggestions for about a dozen other applications, from vests to place mats to scrunchies. The quilt directions are brief, but they provide a good jumping-off point for those seeking to incorporate hand dyeing into their quilting. --Amy Handy  |
