Oh dear I've lost my marbles I posted on CW thinking I was here so here is a copy to explain the above :lol:
"I've had a great day I went on a workshop. It was called Treasured Splinters and run by Viv Denscombe http://www.embroideryviv.co.uk/index.html . We made a strippy type quilt based on a photo. I used a photo a friend sent me of her farm in Australia. It's 36" x 7" which is a lot longer and narrower than I've done before. I used lots of my hand dyes, some scrim, tulle, sari silk and bits. Such fun and so much playing. I'll try and get an upright pic for you but it needs embellishing and finishing yet.
Roll on Wednesday I'm on another workshop making a quilt from a Klimt picture called Summer Fantasy which is the same sort of playing. This is a great retreat week for me except that the old man drilled through the hot pipe on Friday so we've no hot water all weekend. Luckily a plumber is coming Monday to fix a new bathroom. I'm beginning to smell. :lol:"

I have been gone for a little over a week too. 170 posts to read on this thread alone. WOW!
Ritzy, I am sure you are so excited about the twins. If you have some time off and want to get together, just pm me. I am about one and a half hours away. I realize it will be hard to tear yourself away from the twins and their big brother. Have fun.
Dorothy, I think your hand dyes are beautiful.
Luann, glad your baby was safe. Have fun with her.
Lotti thanks for the pics. The scenery is beautiful. Looks like a wonderful place to sleep under the stars.
Everyone, I think the chicken saddles are for both purposes. The roosters do tend to injure the hens and if there is an open spot, the other hens tend to peck at it until it is really bad. They have been known to kill one by pecking it. I would think the saddle would cover any injured spot and let it heal. It could prevent a scratch to begin with. They can be mean to each other sometimes, kind of like people. But not quilters. I have never met an unfriendly quilter. We are the greatest!!

Thank you for your kind concern Luanne, I'm fine now. To cut a very long story short I was admitted to hospital with a suspected brain bleed as I suffer from hypertension and had a prolonged visual Migraine. The shock of being admitted as an emergency to hospital sent my blood pressure was off the scale - I was terrified. Praise The Lord it all settled down. I'm back to the retreat now Luanne and happy.
God bless you
Love Pam

Judith, Dorothy, and other "dyers",
I remember back several pages, Judy said she was having trouble with the wash out. Well, I am utterly taken aback by what happened in my laundry room today.
You may recall the sheet sets I dyed a few months ago.
The final washout was clear. I had even put in a color catcher every time since when laundering them. This is most often every 7-10 days, depending if we go away for a weekend, or I'm just otherwise focused. LOL
Well, those color catchers have been coming out with a tinge of color. Nothing I would worry about if I had put white undies in with them. But today, same washer, same water temp, same detergent, only thing that could be different is the 'chemicals added' by the city!!
And here's a picture of today's color catcher and this is after drying! You should have seen the intensity when wet,,, yikes
So, with that being said, I am going to do more experiments and contact my scientist friend to see if she has any ideas about what might be taking place and how to correct it! I know I'm baffled and befuddled. Next time they get washed, I will put in my color catcher as usual, but I'm going to put in two other pieces of cloth. One will be pfd straight off the bolt, the other one will be pfd, soaked in soda ash and allowed to dry, then put into the wash. I will mark them with tyvek labels. I almost want to just rehash these right now, but I'm trying to be conservative with water. So I'll wait.
Any input from you will be appreciated.
Do the rest of you want us to take this whole 'dyeing' matter to its own thread, or is the retreat an ok place?
Watch for the August retreat thread to be coming online by Saturday. I think I may extend a giveaway of some more hand dyed cloth just for listing a current project on my blog.
May God bless all of you
