Friday Give-Away – Hand-dyed Fat Quarter Set
October 23rd, 2009
Congratulations to #21 Billie K. for winning Jenny Wilding Cardon’s The Little Box of Baby Quilts.
This week’s give-away is for a hand dyed fat quarter set of your choice from Vicki Welsh’s Fabric Palette collection. The Fabric Palette collections are sets of 5 to 8 themed hand dyed fat quarters. Some are color family sets, like Pink Petals, and some are image inspired sets, like the Bluebird Fabric Palette.
Vicki Welsh has been sewing, quilting and crafting almost since birth. She got into fabric dyeing literally because her best friend made her spend part of their annual Craft Week in 2001 dyeing fabric. By the end of the week she was hooked. The fabric dyeing passion grew as she embarked on a study of color theory. Vicki has developed an extensive color recipe book and specializes in dyeing fabric in custom colors. She opened her hand dyed fabric shop earlier this year.
Vicki carries the Fabric Palettes, Hand Dyed wide quilt backs, selvage-to-selvage gradients, hand painted fabrics and lots of one of a kind yards and parfait packs. She also has line of tie-dye t-shirts specializing in dyeing custom colors, such as sports team colors.
Be sure to visit Vicki’s very active blog, Field Trips in Fiber. She always has a lot of projects going on and she has a regular Field Tripping the Web feature highlighting fiber eye candy from around the web. She offers free tutorials and is hosting a monthly fabric postcard challenge and the prize is some of her yummy hand dyed or painted fabric.
You can Follow her on Twitter or Facebook and check out her Etsy shop for some lovely fabrics for your next project.
To enter the give-away, please leave a comment below. The contest closes November 1, 2009. One lucky winner will be randomly chosen to win.
UPDATE: This contest is now closed. Congrats to #148 Jan who won Vicki’s fabulous fabrics. A new Friday Give-Away will be available November 6, 2009. Check back then.

I like the Stargazer set.
I love these fabrics! I’d have a hard time deciding which to choose!!
OOOOO I would love to win those!! They’re all so very beautiful! But i think I would have to pick the pinks ones, as they are my favorite, although the blue and brown ones are very nice too…
Wow, those pinks are really beautiful.
Thank you for the lovely give away. Would love to win these fabrics. All are fabulous. Thanks, Marge.
I love the Bluebird colors!
Oh my…. my applique needles are twitching at the thought of hand dyed fabrics. Those are quite beautiful.
I love Vicki’s hand dyes and regularly get to drool over them on Facebook and in her blog – ooo la la! I think I have a project already waiting for the bluebird palette….

Anita’s latest post: Eerste quilt
I chuckled at your article about trying different machines at seminars and your love for your Pfaff. I recently bought a Expression 2 Pfaff, and I am still mourning the loss of my OLD Genie (Singer) I wonder how many miles I drove that machine. Thank you for helping me equate this to fellow quilters.

Wow – what beautiful fabrics – imagine looking at those in your fabric stash. What a fabulous giveaway.
The gradients are especially beautiful.
The pink-to-purple package looks lovely. I am in the midst of making a wheelchair quilt for a friend of a friend, and the chosen colours colours for the recipient are in that territory. Before starting this project, I did not know that persons with spinal injuries below a certain spot lose the ability to control body temperature with shivering or sweating. My friend wants to make sure that the recipient has a loving gift on her lap this winter. I have chosen the Ribbon Star block – a friendship star with light fabrics that form a secondary ribbon pattern when set together.
ooooh these had dyes are just so gorgeous!! what one might begin to think about creating with these! I love all the colours. Vicki’s blog is great!!
