Mid-summer dyeing

My guild had a dyeing workshop last weekend, and I decided to overdye instead of making a set of gradiated fat quarters.

I threw in some vintage linen tablecloths and table runners, with mixed results. I like how the linen takes the dye, but sometimes the embroidery took the dye, and other times not. This is probably $3 worth of linen here from thrift shops, so I figured I didn't have much to lose. I'll keep the bigger indigo one intact, but I'll probably cut up the rest of the pieces.

I also overdyed some printed fabrics and some white on white, mostly from my recent shopping trip. The striped white on white is more interesting now, and the orange dotted one on the left is also a white on white print. Doubleclick to see the details.

Here's the blues and purples.  I like the white on white triangle print at the right.

Lovely colours on a summer evening.
