Thank you Maggie, It’s like most things, good prep work can take almost as long as the process. I hear comments too about how it must b done by computer etc. without thought to commitment involved.

Firstly let me apologise for not posting for a long long time. My life has been busy to say the least both at home and at work. So I thought I would take you on a journey through the production of my quilt Tr…

Lynda, thank you so much for fantastic photos and clear description of your process. Having seen that quilt in real life and close up I truly appreciate the work that went into making it. Bellissimo!!

Thank you Yas that is lovely to read.

What a wonderful piece of work! I am completely humbled by this. I particularly like the detail you give us on the preparation-it is all too easy to stand in front of a detailed piece of work and say flippantly, “I don’t like it!,” with no thought about what you are really seeing. So, thank you.

That was exactly the strong argument I had with some “quilter” at Sandown Show about Joe’s beautiful work for her grand daughter. This old dear was adamant it HAD to be done by computer and she won’t have any truck with my comments! . Those photos really show up the stunning details that you never really grasp when looking straight at it. That backtracking on your feathers , couldn’t see a stitch out of place !

Lynda Jackson wrote a new post, Rulers – But not the bossy kind 😉 7 years, 7 months ago
It seems that the latest trend in the quilting world is the use of quilting rulers to use both on domestic machines and on longarm machines. They are being sold in various forms and various shapes and sizes, but…

This sounds like the perfect course for anyone wanting to learn a new skill, Lynda has won so many awards for her quilting she would be the best person to learn from.

In the last blog I left you part way through the painting of the dragon. Finishing that bit was only half the journey. One this was finished all the background and the outer edge finishing had to be done.
So,…

Amazing, I love the close ups as it gives you the detail which you can’t see from a full photo. Wonderful work

Thank you for giving us such an insight to the creation of Veothass Drago, loved seeing him in the flesh at the FOQ, now appreciate even more how much work went into making this

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I want to do something just a little different and original. About 2 yrs ago I found ice dying and it opened up a whole new world.
It can be a very random and mystical process…

Wow linda they look fab. I particularly like the first one on the washing line.

I remember tie-dying my hippie skirts when I was at uni, it was fun, but this is a whole other level altogether. Everything is so beautiful and I love your shed too. 🙂

That is so much more inspiring than posts about dyeing usually are! It even has me thinking…whole cloth quilt? Could I? And THAT is a first! Thank you!

I’ve wanted to try this technique since I first heard about it. Love the results you have achieved, and its definitely made me want to find my dyes and have a go now.

Hi Anne, You may have to ask any longarmer which threads they use as not all use cotton or have it in stock. Some will not use it because of the lint, and as you say, you prefer a thread that makes little mess and that is often the reason why they also do not use it.
