Join us as we HAND DYE yardage in an exclusive palette of colors. We will then use that yardage with a background fabric of your choice and construct a "Sawtooth Trio" quilt. This pattern is exclusive to the class and has been developed specifically to use your unique hand dyed yardage. You will have your choice of two sizes: 72" x 72" or 88" x 88" by adding either simple borders or slightly more interesting borders with your dyed yardage! I provide all the dyes, chemicals, supplies and prepared for dying fabric yardage to hand dye your quilt top fabric. Participants are required to provide their own background fabric (2.5 yards) (we will talk about background colors during the dying session) As a class ADD ON participants may choose to also purchase fabric for the backing and binding to dye as well. You must have your own sewing machine and the basic knowledge of sewing and using your machine.
For the Dyeing session wear old cloth, the dyes will stain permanently, other wise be comfortable, water bottles and snacks are acceptable
Instructor Bio:
Joe Klinkhoff
I have been a creative most of my life. I love to learn so have been building that post-apocalyptic skill set along the way. I have dabbled in handcrafts of all sorts, fiber arts, food arts and have focused on hand dying and quilting. I have been quilting for over 30 years and hand dying for over 10 years. I have been teaching at NCC for over 7 years teaching mostly foodie type courses with some of my creatives thrown in.
