- FROM JOYCE
I want to thank my husband, John, for his patience while I worked on this book. He puts up with dyed fabric all over our shared studio and curing fabric in the laundry room. He helps me when I get stumped with... (show all) color choices. His love and support help me through all aspects of developing and writing a book. My sincere thanks also to my good friend Pat Hill who always has so man wonderful ideas for quilts. I appreciate her willingness to share them.
FROM CYNTHIA
I would lik to thank my husband, David, for his continued moral support in writing this book. Since at the same time, I was studying for exams, planning my daughter's wedding, and making her dress, his help was invaluable. My thanks, also, to my friends for ooh-ing and aahing over my fabrics and quilts and for encouraging me to pursue the work that I love. Special thanks to my miece, Ashley Cohen, who wrote the poem The Rainbow Maker when she was just 11 years old, inspiring me to make the quilt on page 102. The quilt will be a gift to Ashley when she graduates high school. - First words
- [Introduction] When we walk into a fabric store or quilt shop, many of us are soon overwhelmed by the variety of fabrics, their prints, patterns, and colors.
The best new about the dyeing methods in Dyeing to Quilt is that they are east and quick to do. - Quotations
- THE RAINBOW MAKER
by Ashley Elizabeth Cohen, age 11
Up in the sky,
Over the trees,
In fluffy clouds
She feels a cool breeze.
She spins on her wheel.
She smiles at the sun.
She collects all t... (show all)he colors,
Because it's got to be done.
She's the Rainbow Maker,
Maker of dreams.
The smaller it is,
The bigger it seems.
She gathers the colors,
Red, yellow, and blue.
She makes million of rainbows,
All just for you. - Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)[Introduction] This swatch library will be your best reference for future dyeing, enabling you to repeat any color you've created.
(Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Coloration does not have to be uniform. It can move from dark to light across the quilt, horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
