"Kathy" wrote in message om... Welcome...this is a great place to be. You will meet some very talented people here. Have you had to ask yourself "Am I a fabric collector or a quilter" yet? I am into it not quite a year yet and I am hopelessly addicted to both buyig fabric and making blocks. Some of the blocks even get connected and turn out to be quilts !!! Thank you for the welcome, Kathy. Yes... At times I think I am just a fabric collector but it is so much fun. I looked at your pictures and they are beautiful. How long did it take you to make each one? You really put a lot of work into them and you must have a lot of patience. I've made a few crazy quilt blocks but they are just "waiting" to be connected. I did make some miniature landscape quilts and am now sketching scenes for some other ones. I have been experimenting with making some ribbon, thread and lace appliques for an underwater scene I am working on. I had made a fish sometime ago using ideas from Susan Carlson's book on Freeform Quilting and got some ideas for a background using different shades of blue and gray and am slowly working that idea through. It is so much fun. Your postcard of Alaska is breathtaking. . I would love to see that in a quilt. What part of Alaska do you live in? "Durga Marino" wrote in message ... I just signed up for this newsgroup and wanted to say hello. Have been quilting only about 6 months and have done mostly crazy quilt squares, free form quilting, and landscape quilting. I took a class at Quilt University which was really great and am totally addicted to quilting. I signed up for another one later on this month. It's nice to find so many people involved in so many different aspects of quilting. |

Hullo Durga
If you are planning an underwater scene; have a go at doing an overlay (in a suitable, watery colour) with some silk chiffon. Looks fantastic!! ..

Thanks Patti, will give that a try. I have never used silk chiffon before. Is it like tulle? . In article , Durga Marino writes Thank you for the welcome, Kathy. Yes...

I seem to remember that tulle is stiff?
Chiffon is very soft, with a very fine weave - gorgeous stuff. .. In article , Durga Marino writes "Patti" wrote in message ...
