    Stunning, you really captured the picture. Thanks for sharing your technique, on my to do list, for sure!

    I just repainted my bathroom mint green and will be using lavender as accent, this is a perfect quilt for the wall, and you have me thinking, maybe the shower curtain!

    Thank you! I will be posting a full step by step tute on my blog in the next couple of weeks for the box.

    PS if I get round to doing the thistle (I posted a photo above,) perhaps I'll remember to take step by step pics of that too! And I'd love too see what you come up with for your bathroom Peg!

    That is so cool. I love art quilts. Let's face it I love all quilts. But it is quilts like yours that are so full of imagination. I love the way you have the quilting actually be thread painting, and of course you didn't start with a solid background which just adds more texture along with the great texture of those pebbles. I am just delighted with your piece of art.

    i've never done anything in confetti - never saved bits that small and probably won't - but that's lovely. it really captures an allium. what's really nice is that the netting is invisible and the fabric appears to be hanging there. nice lesson on your blog, too. i'm glad i'm following. i want to see if this ends up in your next show.
