I blogged last week about the need for new slipcovers for the Ikea stools my boys use. The light green I’d originally dyed them was no match for boys eating on them constantly! One big surprise I got – the new slipcovers I got from Ikea are way too big. Although the name of the…
Last week I got a call from a woman who has chatted with me (and purchased a gift or two) a few times in my booth at a local art fair. She is on a planning committee of a local golf association -they are planning a large golf tournament that ends with a lunch at the country…
Hooray! Although the wedding isn’t ”til March, the bride & groom will be home for the holidays, and thus can give these scarves out to a lot of people. The thought behind these scarves is that everyone in the wedding party will wear one, and will wear something that somehow coordinates with the colors in the scarf….
In August I dyed two scarves for a couple that is getting married next Spring. They’d like the entire wedding party to wear something (a stole, tie, scarf or pocket square) dyed with the same palette, and then each person can just wear clothes that go with scarf – how cool is that? I’m also…

And just like that (snaps fingers) I’m back in the saddle! I’m midway through the 2nd week of school, the beginning of the year broohaha has died down, and it’s time to look at the calendar! YIKES! 4 weekends of making time and then the biggest show of the year! These past two weeks I’ve…
I have not been saying anything about how wonderful the weather has been here in Redlands this summer, for fear of jinxing it. I knew it wouldn’t last – today we had more “typical” summer weather…it got up to 116 in my back yard this afternoon. Seriously, it was crazy hot! We’ve got some brownish…
My next “Ask Candy” post is live over at alamode stuff. Remember this quilt? Amy sent in a question about how to wash newly made quilts, and the answer is here!
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”.
