Dye Party 2021

For many years my quilt guild, Quilter's Holladay, has had an annual Dye Party. It's been my pleasure to be in charge of the party for a few years now. Sadly, Covid kept us from partying last year, so we were even more excited to all be vaccinated and able to party again this year! There were 15 people participating in the dyeing, and another 5-8 people who came just to visit.

I do love a good tree.
The sun was shining in to the branches in an amazing way.
The photo does not do it justice.

This is me enjoying being with people again.
Behind me you can see the field which is rented out for some miniature horses, and the tennis courts.
