I just now saw the posts on the iris with colored pencils. I'm need to check recent posts more often.

Absolutely stunning...thankyou for the info...I have wanted to get into this type of quilting, but haven't yet...I am very interested....love your journal... :thumbup: :thumbup:

wow that is so intrresting, and you done great job

Spectacular! What reference do you suggest to help learn this technique? Or are you thinking about (hint, hint) writing a tutorial for us?

Fantastic!! Please show us more! And tell us all your secrets!! I just love your picture!!!!!!

Gorgeous...really adds depth and colour to the piece.

You use aloe Vera gel, but what kind?

Stunning I love it something I am going to have to try

I learned about colored pencils by searching for... colored pencil on fabric.

Read Jill Buckley's blog and just try it.

Be sure you use the clear aloe vera gel...not lotion.

When you shade with the pencils, start with the lightest color. Then add medium shades and then darker. Of course, look for the areas where the light shines and where the shadows are.

Here is the first quilt I did with colored pencils...actually finishing up what my mother colored and then doing the quilting.
