Discharge Day at My House

Well, Rochester's wonderful summer weather continued for yet another day and we had a successful day discharging all sorts of fabrics in the driveway. By the end of the day we had a dizzying assortment of fabrics spread all over the lawn and everywhere!!

Here is everyone at the beginning of the day, all bright and eager to get started.



Here is Anne checking the results of her discharge with bleach. She is putting her fabric first into water and then into anti-chlor to stop the bleach action.



Here are Caren and Anne checking the results of discharge on a piece of commercial batik from Joanns. It was a dark mottled blue and Caren used a sponge with bleach or Thiox to remove the color. It was a particularly nice piece.



Here is Jeanne at the Thiox pot in full discharge gear.



Here is the whole group around my dining room table partaking of great Chinese food. We were a little crowded but it was great fun!



Here are a bunch of Pat's (I think) fabrics draped over the bushes nearby.



Here is a representation of Barb's fabrics on the front lawn!



Here is the group at the end of the day with their favorite fabrics held up.
