This not very glamorous picture is 26 yards of my Jewel Tone color palette in the process of being dyed. I need a bunch to make kits for the folks taking my tablet class next week, plus it’s time to start making for Fall shows. It’s a gazillion degrees out there (probably up to 104F… Continue Reading
