I think the title speaks for the photos.
This is an under the bed storage box that I have all of my hand dyed fabrics in. I remember when I didn’t have any hand dyes, and now I am obsessed with buying them. And I have plans for every one 😉 Well, most of them. Some may be just too pretty to stitch on right now. But I have them on hand when I need. I am not a patient person, so waiting for hand dyed fabric to come in the mail is very hard for me. So now I have a pretty good stash.
Just some of my Hand Dyed Fabrics by Stephanie.
Some from Silkweaver. Just can’t seem to stay away from their auctions 🙂
A few from Picture This Plus from last years sale.
These are my 2 latest fabrics from Stephanie. On the left is her limited edition Liberty and on the right is Calypso. Both are 16ct Aida and both are gorgeous!! Not sure what I am going to put on Liberty, but Calypso is perfect for a mermaid 😉
And here is what I am currently working on. When I can stay awake that is. I have been getting up at 5:00 am 4-5 days a week to walk with a friend and it has been really kicking my butt. Can’t seem to stay awake at night to stitch. Hence the very little progress.
This is going to be Joan Elliott’s Eastern Promise on Julie’s Asian RR. Sorry for the bad photo, but the colors are truly bright and beautiful and Julie’s fabric is a blue sky with a touch of tan here and there. It’s gorgeous!
That is my update for now. Thank you for visiting and have a safe and wonderful Labor Day weekend.
so pretty! I can see why you collect them. I would not want to use them, I would want to save them so I could look at them all together. 🙂

Hehe. That’s pretty much what I do with them right now. Take the box out, add a new piece, pick up and feel each one and wonder when I will get to stitching on them. It’s a sickness 🙂

No! It’s not a sickness, it is an appreciation of beauty. It’s why when I find some scrapbook paper I really like, I buy lots of it, so I can use it and still have some in my stash. 🙂
