This doesn't happen very often. In fact, it almost never happens. But I was totally speechless when I opened a package that was on my doorstep last night. This package of hand dyes is from sweet Teresa at http://fabricalchemy.blogspot.com/. I mean, I just stood there with my mouth hanging open!
She's been blogging about her experiments with dying fabric. These fabrics are gorgeous! I have purchased hand dyes from time to time, and none I've ever bought from the pros are as gorgeous as these. I think I see a new career in the making here! Oh, my!!
Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to search for the perfect pattern for them. I hate to even think about cutting into them, but perhaps the biggest compliment we can give a fabric designer/dyer is to actually use them! It's going to be hard to do, though!!
Teresa, thank you so much!! I'm still speechless!
I hope everyone bookmarks her site and visits often. You'll never meet a sweeter, more upbeat lady!

Wow! Those are really beautiful, Vicky! I hope you can find just the right pattern--that will be the hard part! Applique, maybe? I think that's what I'd do!
They sure look beautiful in the picture and I know whatever you make with them will be fantastic!
How pretty, you always get so many neat surprises waiting on your doorstep when you come home! I'm jealous!
meg, meg, meg! Kim expained the "meg" thing, and all I can say is I can't believe how "meggie" Meg must have been if YOU thought she was meggie. Have you ever considered a job in sales?
Those are great fabrics you have there. Very pretty. Can't wait to see what you make. And by the way, stay out of MY YARD with your pink flamingos. LOL!!!
Wow, those are beautiful.
Hugs,
