Absolutely love this - how clever! I too am intrigued on how it will go together. I did not see your dragon one however - is there a record somewhere of it here?

great material. This will be stunning

For the dragon reference, see thread in
"Main" under (I need help :0) The story starts on page 1, amazingly enough.

Ray..

Thanks Ray - I did manage to find it earlier today and imagine my amazement when I found you are a BLOKE!!! :)
Amazing - but then again guys paint and do potting so why not quilting! The Dragon is wonderful and you are very talented. Cannot wait to see how your new one goes. Thanks for the photo - love the reds and blacks, real power colours.

Wow this is one amazing art quilt in the making. I can't wait to see more of this. Love it!!!!

Beautiful work---I cannot believe I have ALL THE SAME FABRICS!!!! Wanted to make a jacket but I think I'll change my mind. LOL
How long have you been making qults??? Is your wife also a quilter???
Happy sewing, Kutnso (Mona)

You have some serious talent there! Love how you do the quilting, and what kind of black singer you have there?
Love all those fabrics that you showed us too! Keep us posted on your progress, love them all!

Thanks for showing us your Master WIP! I'm looking forward to the next pictures.

Lovely!! :shock:

Well quilt Master... I see you are working on another "Master Piece" :D:D:D

I was out of town for a few days, and just found this, I am soooo glad I didn't miss out!! I love what you have done so far 8-) Your quilting has added so much dimension to the pieces, and has made this beautiful fabric even more gorgeous!!!
I can't wait to see more!!!!

Lovely!

Your choice of fabrics is stunning! Your thread painting adds perfect dimension to the fabrics. You are "Master"!!
Thanks for taking us along on this journey, O talented one!

So, 10 hrs and 5 bobbins , this is how I spent my Friday night. I'm beginning to answer my own question of how it will go together. These are pics of the assembling of the upper left and right panels. What do ya'll think? Thanks for viewing!

Ray..

Now THAT is veeeery clever, Ray - I could not for the life of me work out how the odd bits were going to fit together but this is fabulous! Well done with all the hours you have put in here, and the result speaks for itself! LOVE IT!! :)

WOW!! It just gets better and better! You really are creative. I envy you creative people. I have to have a pattern, I don't come up with original ideas. But then I am very Left Brain, not Right Brain.

What do I think? I think you are doing an amazing job on this quilt 8-)8-)8-)
I love the way you are thread painting this, gorgeous work Master!!! :D:D:D

I think you have another Master piece :mrgreen:
I think you are doing Great :mrgreen:
I think I am jealous of you :wink: LOL

so far its looking beautiful

Like where you put the geisha girls, it looks real good, it looks like they are watching the koi, Good job.

Amazing!

You have a very special gift! Thank you for sharing! I really enjoy watching the progress of your project!! It's so cool!

Have you made any more progress :D:D:D

inquiring minds want to know.

OK! OK! I have been caught up into this quilt.
Here are some pictures to sooth, Those inquiring minds.
I still have more to do on it.
So don't be to harsh on the critique, just give one...
Please.


Ray..

WOW!! Ray it's looking incredible!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :P :P :P

Wow. I love it! Love the way you've got the water flowing, with the deeper sections standing out with the darker water.Love how one pool flows into the other,and really like how you're softening it with the flowers all around. Definitely another masterpiece in the making. I also like the dimension you're getting with the dirt(?) fabric. Can't wait to see where you go from here.

How cool! That's looking fantastic! And I need to find some of that fabric with the large koi on it - I saw a quilt in a book that I bought a while back that had them appliqued on it, and they were swimming out of some cubed blocks, very cool looking. Your design elements all look great, it's a scene that leads you into it, well done!

How can we be harsh when it is so GREAT :thumbup: Thanks for the update :lol:

WOW!!! :shock: I love it!!!
You are a MASTER landscaper :D:D:D
Thank you for the update!!! 8-)

It's always fascinating to me to see how Right-Brained people create!! I'm so left-brained I need a pattern to follow, I don't create, I re-create, so I envy those of you with real creative ability.

Ray love what you are doing with the fabric. Really creative stuff. Please keep us posted.

Fascinating to see what your creative bent comes up with! It is truly all in the eye of the creator! It is so great to see how you look at things!

I of course love love love what you are creating! This is the best sort of combining art and quilting!

Thanks for keeping us up to date. This is looking fantastic...you have the perspective working beautifully. I loved your Teahouse Dragon....but this one is going to be even more stunning. The technique you are using on the water is most effective. Look forward to seeing more....

Isn't it about time for another update? :D:D:D

Ray, so you haven't posted anything since the end of June. You are keeping my on the edge of my seat waiting to see more of this fantastic new quilt you are working on. I went back and looked at the last pictures and cannot believe the depth of field you have achieved in this quilt.
I think all those years tatooing gave you a real ability to think outside the box.
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. Your work is really inspiring.
Another one that should go in a show.

Coming together beautifully. I love the ladies. Great work

Ray, I can see your tattoo artistry coming through on this 2nd beautiful quilt. You carried the motions out so graciously & can't wait to see how you attach everything together, then quilt it all. Wow!

FANTASTIC!!!!
More photos please...

:shock:

Awesome work Ray!
