Versatex colors are quite bright, but can be diluted with water or an "extender" gel medium. Yes, the ink is heat set after drying. The teacher chose these inks because they don't stiffen the fabric the way some paints do; the fabric is still soft, except for the fern image which was more heavily layered, but it's still not too stiff. Perhaps after I heat set and wash it, it too will soften. Dharma Trading sells them online: http://www.dharmatrading.com/paints/versatex-printing-ink.html?lnav=paints.html
I bought the Starter Set of primary colors plus brown, black, and white from the teacher so I can play at home.

Hi Susan, Janet's 2014 BOM is a joy to quilt :cheer: . I'm using superior Bottom Line in the bobbin for all the quilting, Aurifil 50/2 in the top for the crosshatching and Madeira 40 weight rayon (nice sheen) and bottom line in the top for the different coloured quilting motifs. I am following the Janet's original quilting by studying a link that Anne (Anne 1 ) provided of close up photos on the Forum BOM 2014 "Quilting the quilt". I have quilted the cross hatch grid at 1/2" but I think that it would be better at 1" but I didn't want to unpick what I had sewn so it's going to stay at 1/2". I haven't started the borders yet, Sharon (Sewengel) has finished her quilt and it's beautiful, so, when I reach the borders I'm sure I'll be asking her how she quilted hers.
Best Wishes Pam

I must admit, I really do like the pastel ones. I think it took, looking at them in a picture to help me get a little distance. Wouldn't they make awesome cushion covers for my wicker couch? I don't have enough, but that would give me a reason to dye more cloth!!
I think the problem was twofold. First was the fact that I just plain squeezed too much of the dye out. If you watch the show, you'll see why I thought I should. The second thing is that I did not use my Pfd dyers muslin from P&B Textiles. That's what I generally use. This time, since I was experimenting, I used an old sheet that I had washed and put into my tool box for a drop cloth if I needed one. It could actually be a poly-cotton blend, or have some sort of permanent press finish on it.
I will try this again, using pretty much the same methods. Just squeezing less and using pfd cloth. I bet my results will be more along the lines of what I have done in the past.
Now there's a project for tomorrow. Before the heat index goes over 95*F !
Till then,
Luann

Lots of great stuff going on in here. Love the pastels and all the pics make me want to try dying. I have a friend who does indigo and I've asked her the next time she does it, to let me know, so I can learn. I'll post a pic when I do it.
Geneva - congratulations on your win! It's a special quilt!

Lois,
On May 24 Ritzy asked about deconstructed screen printing, over on the fabric dyeing discussion. I responded and didn't hear any more from her. Then I posted a question to her early June, to see if she had made it to the other blog I told her about. I never heard back from her. Does anyone know her on a more personal level, than thru this site? Hopefully everything is fine and she's just busy having fun with family.
I will keep her in my prayers until we know,
Luann

Ritzy is still kicking. Recieved an email response from her. She has been fighting a sinus infection. The last few weeks of school she was assigned to an extremely difficult class and came home from work absolutely drained. That takes the stuff out of a person when its day in and day out. She's been quilting. Working on quilts for the expected twin grandchildren.
And Marilyn, you are right, where's Maureen.
