Hand dyed Friday finishes and a giveway in honour of IWD

I have some hand dyed finishes to celebrate this weekend.

First up: a pair of zippy bags

featuring some hand dyes.

the other side.

Then a trio of candlemats from hand dyed leftovers

from my friend Cheryl

Here's a close up.

It measures about 12 inches across.

More hand dyes on the back: overdyed white on white on the left,

and an overdyed linen dresser scarf on the other two.

And then there's this: I dyed this yesterday

after cleaning out a bathroom drawer and

finding a motherlode of those little containers of

purple revealing liquid for brushing your teeth.

The orthodontist was very generous with those during our seven years of visits

and since they contain a warning that they may stain fabric,

I decided to give it a try.

Here the little packages are draining into a bin ful of snow.

I've cut a small piece for one of you.

Leave a comment

and I'll pick a winner on Monday.

I'm off to a quilt retreat with a small group of quilty friends

Happy International Woman's Day indeed!

We'll be celebrating tonight with

a chocolate cheesecake

made by Mr. Scraps.

Yum!

I'm linking up to Sarah here and Amanda here and M-R here.
