Welcome to our new sponsor
A little about Vicki's fabrics from Vicki...
The most unique thing about my fabrics is that they are hand dyed so each fabric is a one-of-a-kind creation. That said, I have hundreds of dye recipes and can create custom colors. I am best known for my fabric gradients. These fabrics blend colors from selvedge to selvedge and are very popular with art quilters for landscape backgrounds and they make great borders for traditional quilts.
My goal is to introduce (or reintroduce) quilters and fiber artists to the world of hand dyed fabrics. Hand dyed fabrics have a reputation for not being colorfast and, for that reason, many quilters are afraid to use them. My fabrics are processed to remove all of the excess dye and you can use them in your quilts as confidently as you do commercially printed fabrics. You can read about my process for removing excess dye here and the process is also effective for you to use with commercial prints that bleed. One recent quilter used this process on a finished quilt that bled and it got out all of the excess dye that had bled onto her white fabrics.
