The results are in! I'll post more detailed accounts over the next few days about some of the fabrics I dyed in last week's indigo vat. For now, I'll just do a little show and tell, with more show than tell.
Test swatches (sequence of 1-9 dips) and a couple of solids:
Itajime (clamp resist):
Nui (stitched) shibori:

As for quilting, work on the MQG challenge quilt continues. I have twenty days to get it done in time for my next guild meeting. Time to kick it into high gear!
Linking up to WIP Wednesday on Freshly Pieced and The Needle and Thread Network. Happy Canada Day, and happy sewing!
