I visited the shop and they have the Wilmington Essential I needed! Score!
ReplyDeleteWe used to do Pysanki Easter Egg dyeing when the kids were young. It involves India Ink and fancy patterns. A lot of work but beautiful when done!
ReplyDeleteI've always done the easy dip dye, but I'd like to try using silk ties.
ReplyDeleteI like their free "Quilter's Toolbox". You can plug fabrics into a quilt pattern and see how they "play" together!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way? Let our chickens do the work! I have 18 hens that lay all different colors--all shades of browns, olive and blue. I haven't colored eggs in years! LOL
ReplyDeleteI actually laughed out loud at your reply!!
DeleteI chuckled too!
DeleteI visited the site: I'm typically a "prints" kind of person but the moda bella solids make just the greatest backgrounds. Currently wanting to make a 9-patch on a yellow background so that would be my fav! The price is nice too!
ReplyDeleteI like the « magnificent blooms » strip pack.
ReplyDeleteI like to die eggs with an onion peel dye. They come out a beautiful rust/copper color.
ReplyDeleteWe make cascarones, or confetti eggs, a Latino tradition from our days when we lived in San Antonio. You make a hole in the top of the egg and drain the inside out, then dye as usual. When dry, you fill the inside with confetti and glue tissue paper over the hole. On Easter you crack the eggs over everyone’s heads and cover them with confetti!
ReplyDeleteI follow Thousands of Bolts on FB. They are one of the participating shops in the monthly on line FabShop Hop I am a member of.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite way to dye Easter eggs is dip dying
ReplyDeleteI haven't dyed eggs in years, but we used to use the dip dyes that you bought at the store. They were tablets you dropped in vinegar water (I think - Mom always took care of that part) and then dipped the eggs in using a flimsy wire dipper. It was fun!

It's been years since I dyed eggs, but used a crayon to draw on the shell before the eggs were dipped in the food coloring bath.
ReplyDeleteI am old school too. Those tablets had the richest colors. Leave them in longer.
ReplyDeleteI follow on them on Facebook and Instagram. Love Thousands of Bolts!!!
ReplyDeleteI follow Thousands of Bolts on FB and Instagram.
ReplyDeleteI haven't dyed eggs in years, but we always did it with the dye tablets.
ReplyDeleteYep, old school..vinegar, water and a few drops of food coloring!
ReplyDeleteOld school again. Good ole boxed Paas decorating kit with the vinegar
ReplyDeleteI love the Kensington Park Collection from Northcott
ReplyDeleteI follow Thousands of Bolts on FB, Instagram!
ReplyDeleteHi, we use vinegar, water and a few drops of food coloring!
ReplyDeleteJoyous Easter ALL.
I have not dyed eggs in years--the kids are now grown. Will have to do this for grandkids. When I did do it, I just bought an egg dying kit, but I'm sure there are new ways to do it now.
ReplyDeleteFollowing Thousands of Bolts on FB. I love their website!
ReplyDeleteI like to do it the old fashioned way but I have a spray tye die kit that I'd like to try.
ReplyDeleteThey have the best selection of quilt backs.
ReplyDeleteEggs dipped in the PAAS color kits is what I've done forever!
ReplyDeleteI haven't dyed eggs in years, but we used to use the Paas kit

ReplyDeleteLove their selection of Bella Solids at a great price!
ReplyDeleteI just buy chocloate ones!
ReplyDeleteFollow them on email and facebook
ReplyDeleteI like to dip a third of the egg in each of the primary colors and then it makes a rainbow pie as you look from the top or bottom.
ReplyDeleteI do pysanky (Ukrainian Easter eggs).
ReplyDeleteI'm on the email list for Thousands of Bolts, hope that counts.
ReplyDeleteI always have four or 6 tubs of dye water for the grand girls. Just this year we tried using these tongs I found at Target, just for the nimble art of dying the eggs. Then when they are dry, we put stickers on some of them
ReplyDeleteThen we hang them on the tree
congratulations to Patty, yay a lucky win!
I get thousands of bolts email newsletter. They do indeed have good stuff, and some treasures. I have gotten some excellent treasures in the mail from them
ReplyDeleteI haven't dyed Easter eggs in decades! But when I did, it was the old way - regular dye and soaking the eggs in each color. Deb E / CA mdenders@msn.com

old school for sure
ReplyDeleteThe only way for me to color eggs is food coloring in boiling water with vinegar. I have to get on it! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI visited their shop. There's a ton of Bella Solids there that I could buy yardage. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI haven't done it this way in so long, but I will try it this year. My grandmother taught us to decorate them with hot wax and dye, some call it Pysanky. You can do some really beautiful designs.
ReplyDeleteI follow them by e-mail and on IG.
ReplyDeleteOnce I used onion skins, and tied leaves with nylons around the eggs. They were soft colors, red onions are especially pretty.
ReplyDeleteI keep a nice wishlist going at Thousands of Bolts. It's one of my favorite shops for buying backings.
ReplyDeleteDear Melissa: 1. I dye eggs using Paas Easter egg kits and dyes every year. I just love the pretty pastels as well as enjoy the eggs for our breakfasts.
ReplyDeleteDear Melissa: 2. I love thousands of Bolts and already follow them on FB and Instagram as well as shop there frequently for backings as well as sometimes hard to find fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI just purchased some Christmas fabric from them.
ReplyDeleteBecause we raise chickens, I like just using an assortment of different brown eggs. Some are darker or spotted, giving a great variety to a basket of eggs.
ReplyDeleteI haven't dyed eggs in decades, but growing up we did it by immersing the egg in a food coloring and water bath.
ReplyDeleteI get TOB emails and I routinely check to see what they are highlighting.
ReplyDeleteTie dye is my favorite!
ReplyDeleteFollowing on Instagram and Facebook
ReplyDeleteThe only way I have dyed eggs is with PAAS dyes.
ReplyDeleteI like the great supply of quilt backing fabrics available on the website.
ReplyDeleteI taught my kids how to make Psyanky eggs -reverse wax dying.

I put eggs in a colander, pour vinegar over them, put a few drops of food coloring on them, shake them around, rinse and done!
ReplyDeleteI follow Thousands of Bolts on IG & by email.
ReplyDeleteWe don't even add the crayon, just eggs dipped in dye. I like to leave them in long enough to get vibrant colors:)
ReplyDeleteI visited Thousands of Bolts and found some sweet 30's style fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI just dip the eggs in whatever cheap dye I can find!
ReplyDeleteI follow Thousands of Bolts on facebook.
ReplyDeleteWhen my son was young we sometimes used dye that floated on the water and made the eggs look tie-dyed. They were cool.
ReplyDeleteSaw this pretty one in the shop: Wilmington Prints
ReplyDeleteEssentials Circle Burst
We paint them instead of dye!
ReplyDeleteI love the backing collection!!
ReplyDeleteHaven't dyed in years, I tried making Pysanki eggs and silk dyeing, both came out very interesting.
ReplyDeleteDifferent color in each cup with a little vinegar and then dip egg in cup and wait until as dark as you want.
ReplyDeleteFollow them on FaceBook.
ReplyDeleteI haven't dyed eggs in years, but when I did I usually bought a kit!

growing up we used to do the Ukrainian pysanky. still my fave. I can't wait till my kids are big enough I can teach them.
ReplyDeleteI like to dye Easter eggs the old fashioned way too...although I really like the fancy ones people do!
ReplyDeleteI follow 1.000's of bolts on FB!
ReplyDeleteNo Grandkids this year but I'm old school too. One year I got all the shells from a restaurant. Washed them and painted them bright colors for the Girl Scouts to make mosaics. Such fun.
ReplyDeleteI follow Thousands of Bolts on FB.
ReplyDeleteTotally old school with a dye kit...just the bright colors, nothing fancy.
ReplyDeleteI checked out the shop and bookmarked it. I absolutely LOVE the way they show the fabrics by color and in a graduated color order. Makes shopping so easy! Fabulous prices too. I will definitely be shopping here.
ReplyDeleteHaven’t dyed eggs in years... but used to use the crayon and dye method, which my kids loved!
ReplyDeleteI follow Thousands of bolts via email and Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI am old school with the Paas kit. We would find eggs weeks later lol.
ReplyDeleteI have visited Thousand of Bolts lots but never purchased. I always go to the whites for the low volume fabrics.
ReplyDeleteI've only dyed Easter eggs once so I don't really have a favorite way. My husband was SHOCKED that I never did it as a kid.

ReplyDeleteI haven't dyed eggs for years, but I remember at as kids my mom would put vinegar and food coloring in water and that would dye the eggs.

ReplyDeleteWinter Shimmer may be the winner! I liked it the best.
Don't dye eggs anymore. But we always just dipped them in colorful dyes. Always loved hiding them. We'd tape them under chairs, hide them behind pictures. Always remember Uncle Jim finding some forgotten ones by the smell.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite ways to dye Easter eggs is with my grandchildren. We make an "it's worth it" mess. :)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite piece from Thousands of Bolts is P&B Textiles

We always used the egg dye kits from the grocery store but sometimes you could get the kits that created a marble-colored effect on the shells. So pretty but was not always available. Haven’t dyed eggs in a couple of years now.
ReplyDeleteI follow Thousands of Bolts on FB and visit them at The Shop. They have great prices and lots to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI love to color Easter eggs with my grand daughters - my grand son is too old. :-(
