Member Spotlight: Dianne
Dianne shared the exotic fabric that she collected from living overseas and travels in Nepal, India, Sri Lanka and Africa. She took a trip to Sri Lanka and saw the process of making batik fabrics. She shared many wonderful samples of fabric from her travels including wooden stamps to make designs with hot wax on batiks. She also shared fabrics that she had dyed using ice cubes in a bathtub. Thank you for sharing your beautiful fabrics - they were awesome.
