of course, I wanted to stitch something with them to see the effect on cloth.
Deciding what to stitch?..... I drew this dragonfly
This one, blue/green dyed threads stitched on my dyed fabric, became a pin cushion.
Then,..... well...... you know I could not resist doing a complete doodle

I love snow dyeing, but never thought about throwing some thread into the mix. You stitchery is gorgeous with your beautiful threads!!! Not sure if you have give it a try, but I thow a piece of fabric under the rack when snow dyeing, and I get a bonus piece of fabric. I was kind of surprised at what comes out of all the muck that's left after the melting.
Lovely!
What a treat to see you experimentation :0).
Happy Sewing
As always...the proof of a true artist!
Your thread is beautiful and I love that pincushion!
Your snow dying turned out gorgeous and a dragonfly is perfect for the colors! What fun!

GOOD WORK Jill.

Just love your doodles!!!! And the threads look great on the cushion!! Only you would come up with a design like that! Very cool!
the thread is just beautiful and the dragon fly is too.
Gorgeous!
Clicked over from Off the Wall Friday. I LOVE your colors. Dyeing thread is a new favorite of mine.
OH...I LOVE IT! The stitchery is so cool, and how much fun it that to dye your own thread!
Hi, Jill. Lovely colors and design. I don't think I'll ever get to dying thread, but I certainly do like to admire others' experiments. I enjoyed visiting your very creative blog.

Beautiful!
Love the dyed thread! You snow dyed the thread? Great idea! I love the dragonfly drawing and how it stitched up. Just gorgeous!
Another dyer. Happy to check out your site.
Great little dragonfly, perfect for the dyed threads.
I love the pincushion and your art too:)
Hello~
I have to tell you, your snow-dyeing is the lovliest of all I've seen.
I've done a bit, but nothing has turned out quite that beautiful...
Could it be that I lay my fabric flat instead of scrunching it? I try to keep colours harmonious, but sometimes they muddy up....
perhaps a lighter hand at applying?
Your posts are always inspiring, thanks so much!

Wow! Absolutely stunning! I love your work! And your stitching? Sublime! Thanks for sharing!!!
There is just something about Dragonflys that makes people happy. Yours is beautiful in every form.
How fortuitous that one thing led to another. Love your dragonfly...drawn and stitched and doodled. Creative Bliss...
Beautiful Jill - those threads are something special.
Lovely fabric and thread. I am also doing some snow dyeing. It is really fun to see what you get.
I better hurry and keep dyeing....one of these days the snow is going to start melting...and not stop.
Fabulous! I wish I had used Dragonfly as the creative prompt for last week, so i could take some credit for this gorgeousness. ;-) Thanks for sharing!
