"Delicious Hand Dyed Fabrics To Satisfy Your Cravings"
You know how an idea starts out as a little spark? My mother suggested packaging my hand dyed fabrics in small parcels. She is always full of great ideas and I always listen to my mom now that I'm a grown up.
I divided some of my 6 step gradations into small sample sized pieces. Each piece is about the size of a fat 16th (a nominal 9"x10.5"). There are 12 pieces in each box.
Once I had the first few boxes packed I thought "These look so luscious". That was when the idea of "Dye Candy" came into my mind.
I was torn about opening a second Etsy shop but decided customers would have an easier time finding my hand dyed fabrics if I opened a shop of the same name. So if you are looking to enhance your hand dyed fabric stash, here is a great way to do it without a lot of expense.
I have yet to move all of my hand dyed fabrics into this store. I will also be adding more color options in the coming weeks.

Chris, this is catchy and cute! I have seen some fabrics being sold this way at the fabric store in a near by town.... In a decorated box like candy. Yours are wonderful colors and I am sure you will sell them even more easily this new way. I wish you ongoing success in all your stores!!!!
Chris, just lovely. As quilters we like to buy with our eyes and everthing candy will do the job. Beautiful quilts.

so pretty and such a cute name - wish the candy came with it! I will most likely be sending for an order sooner or later they are colors I would use in all kinds of applique.
