Thank you for checking in everyday. Love the idea you have come up with to try new things. I had saved checker board fabrics for years, and finally made a quilt from those. Cut 4 1/2 " squares and appliqued 1, 2, or 3 circles on each square. Then set them in the attic windows with a border of another 2 tone blue checker board fabric. It was so busy, but colorful and fun. I called it "my checkered past". It sold in the second show it hung in! That was fun! Keep playing! That's what this is about!Patty Ashworthnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-2208892966449046262010-02-07T05:48:59.710-05:002010-02-07T05:48:59.710-05:00No offense taken here either.

That's why we keep coming to get our daily doses of Melody's eye candy.<br /><br />It's just my opinion but I believe machine quilting is a form of art. In the beginning we stitch beginner designs which is often squiggly lines. Equivilent to the beginning strokes of a pencil for a student sketch artist. As we grow and learn in our art be make better design decisions. <br /><br />I believe a person should choose a quilter in the same way a person chooses any artist. If you like the work you buy it. If not you keep looking.Na Nahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536204640038696190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-40729420037524128712010-02-06T17:34:41.350-05:002010-02-06T17:34:41.350-05:00I am looking forward to seeing what you come up wi...I am looking forward to seeing what you come up with: I have been thinking too about this same dilemma, working with prints.I keep changing my design every time I walk by, hoping to see what is going on.Gail Baarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00833256306047584176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-88410395220147535182010-02-06T13:31:05.302-05:002010-02-06T13:31:05.302-05:00I knew exactly what you meant about "squiggle...I knew exactly what you meant about "squiggle lines", which can be said about some long arm quilting. I just feel that some quilter's (both the maker and the LA'ers) don't always choose the best design for the fabric design and that's when the "squiggles" appear.Marybethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09402046670921315834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-40476419542657602642010-02-06T11:03:13.027-05:002010-02-06T11:03:13.027-05:00No offense taken...I just figured you hadn't s...No offense taken...I just figured you hadn't seen what we longarm quilters can do these days.<br /><br />Love your work and grasp of color!Deb Levyhttp://blog.deborahlevyart.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-71935286879436290972010-02-06T09:51:50.985-05:002010-02-06T09:51:50.985-05:00The new attempt is beautiful....even the one on th...The new attempt is beautiful....even the one on the left..lol....just be careful it doesn't go 'cutesy' on you...again, I am in love.
