Dyeing to Quilt

Another in a long list of good dye books. A must have. Formulas are specifically made for dyeing small pieces of fabric to build a swatchbook.

I had used a couple of other fabric dyeing books earlier and wasn't too happy with the process and frustrated by not being able to reliably reproduce colors. This book is really excellent - it makes dyeing a really simple process. No need for special jars, chem water etc. that others advocate. I kept a log just as suggested and now have lots of colors that I feel confident I can reproduce. I'd highly recommend it to anyone new to fabric dyeing or anyone who's tried the process and is frustrated. Give it another chance with this book.

This was a wonderful book. In fact, I wish that I had ordered this one prior to the other books on dyeing that I ordered. It had simple, easy to follow instructions. The color wheels printed in this book were the absolute best! In addition, beautiful color photos illustrated unique designs and colors.So if you are even remotely thinking about dyeing your own fabrics, please buy this book first; you may not need to buy any additional books.Thanks,Libby

This is an excellent manual for anyone wishing to learn how to use fiber reactive dyes with confidence. Presents good color theory and excellent exercises to explore the infinite color possiblities through color mixing, while creating a "library" of color samples for reference. Comprehensive and easy to use; each chapter is a self-contained workshop. You can do one, or all, or skip through the chapters.

This book has everything you need to begin hand-dyeing fabric to use in quilts. The instructions are complete and understandable. It has a complete list of the equipment and materials needed to begin. Color charts, formulas, dyed fabrics, finished quilts, and quilt patterns are all included. I love this book!
