Although I’ve been working hard on my online class, I had to take some time to make this notetaker: My stepsister Pam loves steno pads, she uses them all the time at work, and years ago she asked me to make one of my notetakers (using Kathy Mack’s awesome pattern) sized for a steno pad….
Last week, I showed you some results from my first experience dyeing Radiance, a 50/50 cotton/silk blend. I have a client who is making a stole for her pastor, inspired by the stained glass in their church. She wanted deep, glistening colors, similar to the colors in the glass, and a light green background color,…
One other commission I had to complete before Christmas was a convertible clutch. A family had visited me in my booth at a show this Fall and the Mom really loved my clutches, but they were a bit too short to fit an epi-pen she has to carry everywhere because the little boy is very…
Someone emailed me about a month ago, asking if I could dye an ikea footstool cover…turquoise and orange. I’ve dyed Ikea slipcovers before, but only a single color.

Hello Hello! I’ve been having a lot of fun with my DVD blog tour, but phew! Adding this to everything else on the plate and my time to read blogs has just vanished into thin air! But I know how many makers are working their fingers to the bone, and rejoicing in the fact that…
I had a visit to my studio by a woman who commissioned an iPad cover for her friend who really loves the Green Bay Packers. We spent a bit of time looking through my stash to find the perfect green. The one we ended up with has some nice mottling with some gold peeking through,…
I finished up and delivered some custom dyed skirts and shirt last week. I think they look splendid, and have GOT to make an Aurora dyed skirt ASAP!
Oh my goodness, I just love these! Way back around Easter time, I made a set of nesting baskets in Easter colors. Of course, I’d been meaning to make something like this for over 2 years! I was happy with the construction, and a local customer of mine asked me to make me a set…
Back about a year and a half ago, I made a holder for 3″ x 5″ index cards for a customer, she wanted something pretty to hold these cards she uses for work each day. So I made one for her that matched a little notepad she had purchased from me. Well, I got a…
May is done, I’ve got so much to share with you, I’m just gonna get started! Back in April, I delivered 104 hand dyed scarves to the Redlands Women’s Golf Association. They were to be used as favors for their annual tournament. Although the original idea had been for them to tie each scarf in a…
My name is Candy Glendening...and I’m addicted to color! I dye fabric so I can have just the hue & texture I want, and then use it to make art quilts and “everyday art”.
