I received so much help and encouragement from everyone during my Teahouse Dragon project, and it was all so very appreciated! Some have commented that they liked viewing along the development of the quilt and were interested in my next project. The fabric was previewed on 1st thread.

O6/19/10. This is the start of my 2nd art quilt.
I hope to have learned not to do some of the Fudges I did in the last one.
Any and all comments are happily accepted.


Ray..

I see the start of something great! Your quilting is wonderful...so far, so good!! :thumbup:

This is very interesting, thanks! Keep it up.

Off to another awesome start :thumbup: Keep us posted on the progress :mrgreen:

Looking forward to this one. I have a special love for the Asian fabrics.

wow I love the fabric choices, looking forward to seeing your progress on this one!

Looks like you have limited workspace, and yet, your work is wonderful.

Thats pretty cool

wow, that is awesome, please post pictures as you make it so we can follow along, thanks

Ray, I loved your "Teahouse Dragon", but I think this one might just put a little "shade" over your first. The fabric with the pagoda has a beautiful depth to begin with...the next frame with your thread painting added gives it even more dimension. You certainly have got off to a brilliant start, great fabric selection, love your work area and your vintage machine...I really appreciate being able to see the process from beginning to end, so thanks for posting. Can't wait for the next instalment....let the magic continue....

Thanks for all the interest...it keeps me going.
Here's what I spent the past couple days coming up with.

Ray..

This is beautiful work - following along with interest. :wink: :D

It looks great so far Ray!! Can't wait to see more!

Keep it up. and show us the happy ending

Thanks for sharing! Your photos were fascinating, but when I got to the one where you had started quilting around the trees, that was absolutely a WOW!

awesome

Beautiful! I am looking forward to watching the progress on this one!!

Wow, I love that fabric!

Absolutely amazing. Just beautiful.

It looked like you were quilting each fabric on a separate piece of batting. How will you join them together?

Absolutely awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow! This is the stuff of inspiration! Makes me eager to start on my oriental project.

Looking good, the quilting looks great.

Whoo hoo! I was so hoping we would be able to follow along on this adventure with the Koi! It is already looking so beautiful! I wish I could FMQ like that!
Keep it comin'! I'll be eagerly watching!
:)

Beautiful--great work!

Stunning fabrics

Very gorgeous work!! I admire your FMQ, as I do not do it.

Have you gone from dragon master to Geisha Master?

Dear Ray, I am absolutely in awe by the creation of this quilt. I have never seen a quilt made this way and your machine quilting is amazing! Please continue to share pictures with us - Thanks!

WOW, it will be beautiful. Loved your Dragon quilt and this one will be even more so, such beautiful colorful fabrics.
Good for you.

I say the same thing. I had purchased a lovely oriental fabric and holding it for something special. Will definitely follow your progress because I am learning so much about the quilting details. Awesome job.

Your Geisha's are looking gorgeous...can't wait 'til the next episode.

Beautiful work. I am looking forward to seeing more of what you do!!!

Oh what fun to watch the process. Keep it up.

Well, I was thinking about quilting it together.

just "Master" for short!

lol. What's next? Really like the way you're quilting it, I too am interested in seeing how you put them together. Like your supporting colors. You've picked them right out of your feature prints, gonna look really good, the orange chrysanthamums really caught my attention.

OMG you are talented i am not that brave, it is beautiful

Very cool!

that's awesome! I love seeing how you quilted your name in there. I always quilt the receiver's name in mine.
