Virtual Retreat Aug thru Dec 2015 Info on first post

Luann your colorful fabric is absolutely gorgeous. Will you be selling any? It looks and sounds overwhelming to attempt.

Geneva another lovely quilt for your grandbaby. It looks so joyful.

Annis the red & white quilts are stunning. And what a lucky granddaughter. My granddaughters are not interested in sewing at all. They spend all of their time doing rodeo. I'm jealous!

Yes, the hand dyed fabric will be for sale. I have expanded the color wheel and as soon as those pieces are finished being pressed I can get a picture of them. I have also put together 36 other combos that use a percentage of each of my three primaries. I can make these according to what a customer wants, that's why I spend so much time developing and keeping track of my process. If someone only wants fat quarters of the red to yellow group I can do that as well. I prefer to only dye up to one yard sizes. Yards are cut at 40" so that after all the hot water washing and thread loss they are still very generous.

If anyone is interested in purchasing some of these, contact me on my personal email and we can work out the details.

This is so you don't need to page back thru everything to see how the first portion of the color wheel turned out.

Wendy and Luann - neat hand dyes! I like to use them but I've never considered making my own.
Annis - awesome latest red quilt tops and congrats on the machine purchase. Nice your granddaughters are interested.

UGH! I am ten pages behind on this thread but the good news is:


Beccah and her boys. Ezekiel was born first and was 7 lbs 2 oz, 20 1/2" long, Ezra was born two minutes later and was 6 lbs 8 oz and 19 1/2 " long. That is like two full term single birth babies!

And here is our Eli who was able to visit with his cousin Coy who was on his way to his first year of college.

So glad to hear that the babies are here. And such good weights for both of them! I'm sure their mom is one tired lady. Give her our best.
May God bless the entire family,
Luann

Congratulations Ritzy those lovely little babies but wow carrying them at that weight she must be glad they are out. They look so snuggly and lovely. What a relief they are here safe and sound.

Great picture of Eli and Coy what faces!! and so nice to see you again!

:woohoo: Wonderful, Ritzy...Had been waiting to hear !! They're handsome !

[idaho]

Whew! I just caught up on this thread! Yeah!

You ladies have been so busy and have done such beautiful work. I know if I start commenting, I will forget someone but I have to say that those hand-dyed fabrics are just beautiful. The bag, Annis' red quilts, Graneva's binding on the baby quilt--wonderful!

I am going to check and see what else I have missed on the forum. I am downloading books to my iPod. I leave for Missouri on Monday for an extended stay to help with babies. God, please give me strength. Hopefully, boys will sleep and I will be able to check in here so I don't get so far behind in my reading.

Thank you for the blessings for the boys and for the entertainment for their grandma.

Ritzy those babies are beautiful! Congratulations to you all.

[kfstitcher]

Congratulations Gramma Ritzy! Precious little boys.
Those babies are beautiful and imagine them both sleeping at the same time! :silly: :silly: Hope that happens often!

God's blessing on the new family and your expert grandmothering!

Ritzy, What an amazing answer to many, many prayers. Blessings to all.

" Ezekiel was born first and was 7 lbs 2 oz, 20 1/2" long, Ezra was born two minutes later and was 6 lbs 8 oz and 19 1/2 " long. That is like two full term single birth babies!"

Like 2 full term babies for sure. What a wonderful blessing.

Wow, I have not been here in a few day and had 86 post to read on this thread alone!! Luann, love your fabrics. Such bright colors! Love the bag made from ties. Geneva, Victorina's quilt is lovely. Ritzy, congratulations on the babies. Adorable. Prayers have been answered! Can't remember what all else. I am still picking out my fabric for the mystery quilt.
