Here’s a picture of a quilt – I think it is pretty awesome. But what do we know about it? Not an awful lot! If we do a “Right Click” and “Save” we MAY find some of the information that gets hidden in the…

Having just posted a photo of one of my quilts on the Mini Squilt Swap page – and read your very interesting post above…..I went back into my post and ‘named’ my quilt. Success – I am sure I won’t be the only one to heed your warning..Thank you.

So glad you found it interesting – I was a little worried that I had got on my high horse!! But I am passionate about the importance of the lineage of art (in all its forms) Thank you for taking the time to respond. I appreciate it.

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

Do you ever wonder how do people develop a body of work for an exhibition? How they come up with the idea in the first place?? I’m now working on a series of quilts for an exhibition which will travel with G…
-
What lovely examples of your design process. Really great to see how designs can develop from a single idea and a common process.
-
Fabulous work and great to hear how the theme developed over time. Thanks for sharing your lovely work.

I’ve loved your work since I attended a short workshop at Harrogate earlier this year and will definitely look out for your exhibit in Harrogate!

I saw your miniature at FOQ. Astounding. I could not make out whether it was the tinyesy applique or paint, it was so small.

Stunning, wow

Ok – you have done it. After reading this, I MUST get the quilting done on the quilt for my daughter made out of her late dad’s rugby shirts. (it was meant to be her birthday present a year ago, and a Christmas present before that…..) Hoping it can be a Christmas present this year. Thank you. xx

Thank you – or sorry, or perhaps well done for making the decision – and good luck with getting it finished! Make sure you show us the final result…

Lovely finished Boro piece Denise. What I particularly love about Boro is the ripples you get (front and back) which adds fantastic surface design. Your photos show this beautifully.

Thank you. There was a point I was going to bin the lot as it seemed to take for ever, but I am glad I carried it through.

Sometimes things seem to take forever. But it’s always worth persevering and good job you did with this one!
