Sun Dyeing and Painting Fabric for Quilts
My daughter had an enjoyable day today painting and sun dyeing fabric for her quilting and fabric art. Beth started with fabric she’d previously dyed. Today she incorporated items from nature, ferns and leaves, for the designs on the fabrics below as she used sun dyeing and painting techniques. She said she eventually may do some stamping on the fabric. I think they are lovely in the photos as well as “in person.”

What a good job she did, and such beautiful colours! I hadn’t thought about sun-dyed fabric in years (like, about the time-before-last that tie-dying was in fashion); it was a lot of fun, as I recall — so glad you posted this!

It would be sooo much fun to make a quilt with these fabrics, all sundyed and hand painted.
She did a great job!
