That looks fantastic! Thanks for the chance to throw my name in the hat!
I would go for the bright and bold pack and do a mod quilt with white sashing and postcard rainbow blocks! That’d look really nice. I can see it in my mind!
I’m taking a fabric dying class this summer, and would like to create fabric for some clothing construction.

I’ve been eyeing these Rit dyes wondering if they’re easier to use than fiber reactive dyes. The samples by Linda look absolutely beautiful. I’d combine them with my own hand-dyes in a very simple quilt of framed squares to show off the gradation of beautiful dyed fabrics.
I tweeted!

I have just started taking art quilting lessons from Connie Bloom in Akron, OH. She helped me assess my fabric stash and I am desperately low on solids and hand dyed goods. This would be the perfect prize to set me up!!!!
I would like to marble fabric and make a quilt. I saw the marbled fabric on the DIY page.
I have subscribed to the you tube channel.
oooohhh, lovely, lovely, lovely! first of all, who would want to cut up those yummy fabrics? First I would admire them, stroke, fold them carefully and put them in my fabric cupboard, only to take them out again to make a lovely solid quilt with lots of appliqued circles and tiny hand quilting stitches because fabric this beautiful needs to be savoured.

Cool giveaway!
I would invite some of my fibrearts friends to our cabin and we would explore the Rit dyes and challenge each other to make a collection of art quilts to exhibit at our guild exhibition in November!
OMG, I have be wanting to get Linda Johansen’s Fabric Dyer’s Dictionary. It is on my wish list. I wouldn’t mind getting the fabric and dyes.
OMG, Fabric Dyer’s Dictionary is on my wish list. I also wouldn’t mind winning the fabric and dye too.
What will I do with them? I’ll dye with them! LOL I am part of the Interpret This! challenge blog and I am sure I would use the fabrics and techniques in an entry.
I would dye fabrics for an Amish-inspired quilt.
. . . and I am already a subscriber to your newsletter.
I would use the book when I need to dye fabrics (which is several times a year.) I would use the wonderful dyed fabrics for my City and Guilds final assessment pieces—-the wallhanging and the grande finale.
Very cool! I am drooling! I would love to use the Rit dye to create some of my own fabrics. The fabric I would use in a fabric journal. It would be so much fun to cut into that gorgeous fabric!

I would love to have the prize pack and I would probably make all sorts of things. The first thing I would make would be a fall or winter quilt for my bed. I have never used fabric dye before and it would be a blast to try!
absolutely gorgeous colors!
I would love to have the prize pack for the Triangle Modern Quilt Guild workshop!

The project I would use the fabrics, dyes, and book for… is to learn how to dye my own fabric to make a nature art quilt. I’ve been wanting to make a Zebra longwing butterfly for an art quilt but am a newbie quilter. This would help as can create the exact colors needed.
Awesome giveaway! I would use the dyes for fabrics to use in a quilt, and possibly for a dress for the 8 year old step daughter – she would love the uniqueness of it!
I’ve always been interested in color theory, but since I became a quilter I’ve studied everything I can get my hands on. I love the Pantone website! I always look forward to their color of the year (for 2010 it’s Turquiose), and of course I have to have every book related to quilting and color that comes out. In fact, this dictionary is on my Amazon wish list. I’ve never used RIT dyes simply because when I was a kid tie-dyed tee shirts were the rage and of course my mom wouldn’t let me use the washer, saying the dye would stain it. That was 40 years ago, so I’m sure RIT has revamped the product, as it seems as popular as ever these days. I’ve wanted to get into dying my own fabric, but I have so many quilt related hobbies and have spent a fortune, so if I were to do so I’d do it the easy, RIT way. So of course I’d be thrilled to win this giveaway!
I would probably use the dyes to prepare fabric for some Ricky Tims convergence or rhapsody quilt project, most likely rhapsody, since I’ve already done convergence :)
I have been intrigued by convergence quilts for a while now, I would love to try them with hand dyed fabrics. ohhhhhhh the possibilities!
Im getting nowhere using my current dyes, they have no Oooompf! Ive heard such a great deal about RIT recently and would love to try them… please!
I’ve never tried fabric dyeing before and would love to learn. This book is on my list, but it would be wonderful to win it in your drawing! Thanks for this chance to win.
I have been using Rit dyes for years, my daughter dyes threads for her needlework, and I dye my fabrics for cross stitching, and for my quilting. I would just love to win a set of dyes
I think being able to control the dying of fabric would make a spectacular bargello…the subtle changes from one shade to another. Great gift package!

If I were lucky enough to win one of the prizes I would use it to learn to dye! I’ve never done anything ‘creative’ with dye, beyond the odd article of clothing I’ve renewed with dye over the years. It would be fun to be able to play with colour and I’m sure the book would be a great help. Thanks so much for giving us a chance to win!
oh – and I’m a subscriber too!
Thank you Linda Johansen for writing the resource book I’ve been looking for. I would love to experiment with fabric dying – I just don’t know how, not sure, don’t want to waste a project figering it out anyway this looks FANTASTIC! And thank goodness C & T pubishing has a blog/newletter to learn from and that I subscribe to both and you should too!
I love the bright and bold–it would make an adorable baby quilt!
I would love to dye some fabric to make an amish inspired quilt.
I’d love to win this prize…. I think Linda Johansen’s book would be very inspirational!
Those are two dream packages! Either selection would be fun!The pastels just ask to be a delicate embroidered crazy-ish quilt and the brights a bold autumnal cuddlequilt. To also get the dyes and the book to be able to repeat the process would be really inspiring!
I would use this gorgeous fabric in a crazy quilt! The dye I would use to experiment withg dying venise lace. The book I would devour!

these are beautiful fabrics so I would make some more dyed fabrics like these and use them to make a tote bag full of colour…good luck to everyone in this fab giveaway
This is a perfect prize to win for me for I belong to an art group and we each are teaching a new method. I love being creative and using all kinds of media to reach my finished product. I just got the “little birds” book and an thrilled with it. Thanks for being such a great publisher and providing ideas that we can use in our quilts.
I would use the bold and bright fat quarters to make bags. I have always wanted to try fabric dyeing so I would use the book and dyes to do just that.
This is a fabulous giveaway. Thanks!

I would make a quilt for my son, probably a simple star block, they look stunning in hand dyes!!
Book is on my want list and those are FABULOUS colours in the Rit dye!!!
Just subscribed to the newsletter. I would love either of the prize packs. I just tried one of your dyes on some interfacing to use in my work (on the outside, not the inside)! Loved the effect, I primarily try to dye solids or maybe snow dyeing this winter.
Any book on dyeing is to be considered a treasure.
A project? I’m in the mood for a simple flow of color in a quilt-as-you-sew tablerunner.
I would use the Rit dyes to bring unique colors to otherwise drab-looking tees.
Love the pastels! I really want to start doing some fabric dyeing. I am working on some small quilt projects and these would be great for a few of them!
Thanks for wonderful giveaway!

Wow what project wouldn’t I use this in?! I would probably use the hand dyed fabrics for a landscape wall quilt and use the dyes to make more colored swatches I could use to make a unique wall quilt :)
Thanks for chance to win!
I’d love either of these. I’d make a quilt of course with graduated colouring. And maybe a wall quilt just to showcase the colours.
I haven’t done a lot of dyeing, but would love to learn.
I keep reading about how effective RIT dyes ares, but can’t find a UK supplier so would love to win a bold and bright pack. I’m working in monochromes at the moment so would dye a range of fabrics in one colour to produce (hopefully) a stunning quilt!!!!!
I’d use it for quilting, maybe a small dress for my daughter.
This exciting opportunity was meant for me! Got up early this morning so I had some extra time to read my e-mails. saw your post at the bottom of my copy of ‘linkedin updates’. (I rarely get past the first few lines. What a wonderful way to start my day! I love Rit dyes! I love to make fat quarters with lots of visual texture using low immersion techniques.

Oh, I secretly am hoping that lots of people are on vacation and not checking in blogland so I have a better chance of winning this package. I’m dyeing (ha, ha) to try this!!! I have really been reaching out to try new and different techniques. I’m presently knitting tubes (bear with me) with white cotton on one of those thingys, then I twist it up and sew it into a rosette. I would like to play with dyes when I’m finished to make a decorative table top quilt out of it.

I’ve never dyed but am becoming addicted to wool so that would be what I’d do with the kit if I won it.
I would love to win either of these packs! I’m signed up for Laura Wasilowski’s workshop at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham in August, and the hand-dyed fabrics would be perfect for that and other fused projects. I also have some old linen damast table cloths and napkins which are crying out to be dyed and made into something new and quilty :-)

My 12-year-old daughter has dyed fabric with me and is starting to make quilts…this would make a great summer project for her, learning to dye her own fabrics and making her first quilt out of them (plus it might keep her out of my hair for part of the summer!).
I am really really curious about the author’s experiences with RIT. I’ve always been told (urban legend?) that they are fugative on all fabrics since they try to dye both protein and cellulose fibers… so I’d love to compare the outcome with my fiber reactive hand-dyes!
(Not the least bit of OCD in me, no, not a bit ;-)

I’ve posted about the giveaway and added the blog badge to my blog.
Dyeing is great fun. I would use the dyes for some clothing for my grand daughter!
What a fabulous prize! It would keep me happy all summer, and busy stitching during the winter!
when my mom used rit dye to cover the stains that we got on our clothes in the 1960s, nothing ever came out as cool looking as Linda’s fat quarters! would love to become better at fabric dyeing and incorporating the resulting fabric into my art doll and quilt projects. the perfect giveaway!
I would send them to my friend in the UK. She is a brilliant fiber artist and doesn’t have a lot of money for supplies and I know she would be thrilled. She also has MS which makes it more challenging to do her artwork but she is a generous soul and would be so appreciative!!
ironic that I did my first major dyeing yesterday! I LOVE the bolds and brights. I think I would make a mini-quilt inspired by the solids quilts from this years fabric show.
What a great give-away! I would use the dyes for dyeing some of mine, and my children’s clothes so they look new and fresh again. The fabric would be a great addition to my stash for textile art, and other projects I have on the go. The dictionary looks fabulous!

What a great giveaway!!! I just got into some crazy quilting. I would love to win the dyes so I could dye my own fabrics to use in CQ and some embroidery. Also want to try my hand at dying my own threads.
I haven’t done any dyeing, except for some tiedying in the 70s, but would love to give it a try.
I love to use hand dyed fabrics in my art quilts. Lots of intense color!
I would take the bright and bold and refurbish some of my stash by overdying some fabrics that just aren’t appealing anymore. Thanks for the chance to win!
Just itching to start a dyeing project. I’d love to make kite banners to string across the ceiling in my women’s consignment boutique. I especially like the bright colors pack. Please do enter me in the drawing – it would be just the boost I need to get this project underway.
I’m trying to branch out from pretty traditional quilting and I love colour! I would love to play with dying my own fabrics. Thank you for the giveaway!
What fun this would be to have fun with dyes and creating a wonderful project. Thanks for your giveaways.
I’d love all of them, but my first choice would be Bright & Bold. Of course, I’d make a quilt with the fabric
I never tried to dye fabric and would love to learn how to. As for the fabric i especially love the Bright & Bold bundle; I would make a quilt with it.
Thank you for the great giveaway!

I spent the weekend remembering the batiks I made in my youth, using melted crayons and Rit dye. I considered the possibilities, now that I have quilting skills in my repertoire. I would use the dye for batiking.
Love, love, love hand dyes for realistic applique.
great give-a-way!!! This looks like a must have book to add to the library.
i love dyeing fabric. it adds another level of creativity to my art. i think you book has filled a hole in the dyeing books market that has existed for a very long time.
thank you for taking the time to put this book together.
I hope I win!
I would use the knowledge from the book and dye & fabric for my latest quilt that I have designed. I started the quilt awhile ago, had to put it on hold to complete my daughter’s quilt for her h.s. graduation. Am ready to delve in to my own quilt again. It’s inspiration is from a photo I had taken over 20 years ago…spring beauty flowers hiding in the undergrowth. It is my own pattern. It is barely started, but I know what colors, hues, and textures I want potrayed.
Thanks for the opportunity to win these fabulous products. I like making teddies and would love to try some of that fabric in one of my projects. I also need more solids for my fabric stash.
I want to learn to dye my own fabric for my art quilts. I have heard that your dye work relly well. Your book was recommended to me.
I would like to be entered in the dye set give-away. I would love to dye my own fabrics in variations of shades for a custom quilting project. Thanks!
I would choose the Lights and Pastels to create a landscape of the view from my garden – the morning light as it hits Mt. Diablo and throws the foothills in to pinks, pale peaches and soft grays – with some art and imagination thrown in, of course. Love to win.

would love to try Rit dye. I teach surface design in the southeast and would love toshow students a technique with an easy product to find.
This is a very generous giveaway! Thanks so much.
I would love to learn more about dyeing without using all the expensive paints,e tc…this looks like a fun, affordable and satisfying way to do it! Either way, it is a book for my Wish List!
I would use them to dye muslin and duck cloth so I could screen print my own designs on fabric. They look like such great colors. I would also be able to do some great graffiti fabric pieces with this. They would end up as art quilts and/or fabric books. Love the rich colors!
Belinda
A wonderful offer and what gorgeous colours. Hopefully thanks very much!!

This looks like fun……I adore hand dyed fabrics!!
If I should win your giveaway it would be exciting for my embroidery students as well as me because I would be sharing the book and the dye products with them. Also a friend and I are teaching a wool crazy class in the fall and have been collecting wool to hand dye. I really need something other then Kool-Aid….. I have heard that your products are reliable and they would make my life so much easier!!!
Ooh! Pick me! Pick me!!! When I win the brights pack, I will use the fabrics for a quilting project, and the dyes and book to figure out how to dye with Rit dyes!
This book would be a wonderful resource. I love to dye fabric for my quilts and wall hangings.
I am a quilter, so I would probably use the fabric pack to make quilt blocks and the dyes to make backing or borders to go with it. I used to do a lot of dying but would love the book to improve my skills.

In my enthusiasm, I forgot to mention that I’m already an e-mail subscriber……..
I have added C&T blog badges to my blog.
Oh, I am admiring your fabrics and these paints very, very mucht and I would love to be the pricewinner of theze giveaway.
greetz,
Ina.
I’ve had a project in mind for quite some time now, but lack the necessary resources to make it reality. I want to dye a heavier weight fabric, (twill or denim), enhance the result with machine embroidery, and use the resulting fabric for purses and jackets. I would sooo like to win one of these collections-especially the Fabric Dyer’s Dictionary, which luckily is included in both collections.
I want to make quilts for all of the kids in my family so I would use it to customize the quilts for each kid. I think it would be a blast to have them help me with it so they will learn the techniques and hopefully one day pass them on to their kids. One thing that we would do on each quilt is create a batik on which each kid uses the wax to write their name and whatever else they want to add to it and use that piece in the quilt top. I’m at the perfect point in my journey as a quilter to move into hand dyeing my own fabrics and especially batiks. This is so exciting! I signed up for the YouTube account and only wish I had learned about it earlier. What a great learning tool! Thank you.
I would be thrilled to win this package. I love quilting and would have a chance to create my own custom colors. I am glad to get the newsletter.
In my previous post I said I would use wax to create batiks. Scratch that. I would use the Crafter’s Pick™ Batik-EZ Resist Medium that I just found on RIT’s website. How have I not heard of this stuff before!?!
I have dabbled with fabric dyes, but it has been hit and miss as far as creating the colors I want. This gift package is fabulous!
What a great prize! I have always wanted to try fabric dyeing. This would be a great introduction.
I would love to mix and match both the bold and pastels Riz colors to make a bag to use on my Jazzy. When I have to go shopping It is hard to carry my purchases and also use the in store carts in front of my Jazzy. This would be a big help as I have to travel in the streets as there are no sidewalks here. The bold colors and pastels mix might make it easier to be seen!
I’ve just started doing my own fabric dyeing. I like mixing hand dyes with commercial batiks for unique quilts.
Ooo! I love those bright FQs. I would definitely play with them and who knows what I might create!
WOW ! What a wonderful giveaway !
I would make an applique quilt plus
it’s been years since I dyed my own fabric
( at Haystack ) I think I’d like to try some
new techniques !
My plan would be to buy lots of cream homespun and experiment with resist dyeing with the Bolds & Brights pack, using the book as a reference for making a wonderful spectrum of original fabric. I’d then incorporate my experimental cloth with the fat quarters and make a super-colourful quilt of alternating plain and pieced blocks.
Hmmm, I might just try that even if I don’t win. :)

Thanks for offering such a nice prize, looks like fun! The chance to try out new products creates so many possibilities! Got my fingers crossed to be the lucky one to win! :)
Recently I became the owner of the book.
It is addicive to do the dyeing with the help and guidence of Linda’s book. Last three days I dyed 72 FQ’s and I love the results.
The weather in the Netherlands is still perfect to do some more.
The waiting is for the ureum to arrive, I am out of stock ……
I am primarily a knitter, so I would use the dyes to dye really pretty yarn. I would use the fabric to make a pretty tote bag for all my pretty yarn. thanks for the contest. Debbie in Alaska
love to win the book, or maybe should write would dye (die) to win this book. Maybe will be able to learn to dye fabrics for quilts, and not have to settle on commerical fabrics or somebody else dyed fabric
Hi!
Please enter me for the “Fabric Dyer’s Dream Giveaway”…
I would absolutely LOVE to make a quilt using my own dyed fabric as well as using the fabric provided in the giveaway! Wahoo! would that be fun! I also would love to gain skill in dyeing fabric so I could make nice clothing to wear.
THANKS,
Francine
Ohhh.. The bold and bright fabric would make a fabulous quilt with solid black and some bling. Lots of bling. And the dyes to make more would be fabulous. I hope that whoever wins (hopefully me) has loads of fun with the dyes, book and fabric.
I love to tie-dye clothes, especially t-shirts. This is a great contest that I would love to win.
I have digitized a few designs for my embroidery machine and would love to learn to dye some fabric so that I can get some unique fabric behind the designs that will work perfectly with the designs!
I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN 2 MAKE THINGS 4 MY GRANKIDS.(AWSOME WEB SITE..).THANK LIZZ
I’m retiring soon and learning to dye– and have dyes “stick”– are of great interest to me for when I can’t find just the right color. Such a great opportunity!
Would love to win this giveaway! I love to dye fabric but have never tried it on my own…only in a class. I would make beautiful colors to use in a twirl skirt for my 5 year old granddaughter. Thanks!
Had my first class in fabric dyeing June 25th. What a blast, created 5 yards of different shades and fun techniqes to create one of a kind fabrics. Looking forward to making a quilt from them.

Oh tomorrow is the day for the drawing. Who will be the lucky ones? I hope it is me for I want to use the dyes in my art quilt group. We are trying some wonderful and creative techniques. I love these chances of winning. Thanks so much!
I always dream of dyeing my own fabrics to make a serendipity quilt. :-)
I love dyeing my own fabric and could sure use some more dyes!
Hand dyed fabrics are my favorite. What wonderful things I could do if I won this prize package!
I would love to experiment with dying my own fabrics, I have started using fabric paints, and it would be fun to work with the dyes as well. I like to make quilts based on my own designs,using bought fabrics, and my own painted fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love Ritz Dyes and have used them for over 50 years starting as a young girl dying T-shirts, skirts and presently I am learning to dye lace, silk ribbon and silk fabrics. I also plan to use them on children’s plain T-shirts, onesies for infants and hats/bonets for very young children. I also plan to use them for high school/college school in their school colors for clothing, purses, hats, various other items that I find that are suitable for dying. Almost all of the Rit Dyes I use are not harmful to children if they should put their clothing in their mouths. I prefer the pastel dyes but with be happy with eitther colors.
Great bright hand dyed fabrics and would love to try dying some of my own.
I mentioned this giveaway on my wall on Facebook and referred readers to this website to enter. I entered it about 5 minutes ago. I would love to win the Dictionary, the fabrics and Dyes and would put them all to good use in my hand dying lace, silk ribbon, silk fabric for scarves, and for dying/appliquing fabric/ribbons on infant/childrens’ clothing, hats, socks etc. I would also use them in other crafts etc. I would love to win the pastels but would be happy with either set.
Just purchased Robbi Joy Eklow’s Guitar pattern – bold and brights would be perfect!
What a perfect way to expand my fabric dying! I love to quilt and do all sorts of projects with material. I have recently tried to dye my own fabrices and this would really put me over the top!
PLEASE MAKE IT ME, Oh how I would love to win these fabrics and be able to dye more for my quilts. So often I struggle to find the colours I want.
I would definitely use the lovely fabrics in some applique projects, dyed fabrics add a lot to applique.
I’d probably make more fabrics for my daughter’s wedding quilt
I already subscribe to the newsletter – that’s how I found out about this giveaway ;]
