Janice's Hand-dyed Fabrics

The beauty of hand-dyed fabrics is in the wonderful variation in textures and tones with no two pieces being exactly alike.  All our fabrics are 100% cotton.  We use fiber reactive dyes.  Unless stated otherwise, they are 44" wide.

Keep watching...more hand dyed fabrics will be added.  In the meantime, feel free to
e-mail us to ask for something specific.  Or if you want a hand dyed fabric to coordinate with one of the other fabrics we sell, let us know that.

The fabrics for this quilt were specially hand dyed by Janice.  If you want a similar look, you can purchase the fabrics here.  Remember, that each piece of hand dyed fabric is unique.  The fabric you get, while similar, will be different from what you see here.

  Special orders generally require an e-mail.  Describe, as best you can what you have in mind.  You can't be picky, though.  Half the fun is the adventure of the unexpected!   Price generally will be $22.00 per yard, unless you have something outrageous in mind...then we'll negotiate!  Any quantities...one yard on up.

Wide width fabrics are also available for wholecloth quilts or Hawaiian quilts.  If you can imagine it...we'll try to produce it!

We will try to accommodate special orders in 1-2 weeks, but depending upon what you are looking for, it could be 3-6 weeks.

E-mail us, tell us what you want!
Credit card number or check will be required before we begin.

Ready to special order? 

1)  Enter the amount of fabric you want:   Quantity (1 yard minimum).

2)  Describe the color you would like.  If you need more than 30 characters to describe, use the "Comments" field in the Shopping Cart, or send a separate email to describe.

  Enter description (limit 30 characters)

   3)  Press this button:    $22.00 per yard

4)  Repeat the process for additional fabrics.

(Remember, if you are asking for something out of the ordinary the price may be higher,
but this will get us started.)


We do recommend that you test the fabrics for colorfastness in your water.
After being dyed, we rinse the fabrics in water temperature between 125 & 140 degrees with Synthrapol.  However, one of the things every dyer and the dyeing books talk about is the different ways the dyes respond in different waters (different chemicals, minerals, etc.).  Nancy has been our test of dye stability--she can get just about any commercially dyed fabric to run in her water (when they don't in Janice's water), and yet Nancy has had few problems with these dyed fabrics.  That is not a guarantee.  As every quilter knows, some commercial fabrics bleed and run, others do not.  You are likely to have similar experiences with any hand-dyed fabrics.  Be safe.  TEST.

If you do experience problems try two things.

  1. Use cold water.
  2. Wash with Synthrapol a time or two, following the instructions on the bottle.


    Email us if you have any questions at all.
