Thanks MaryKatherine. Will be picking up some chicken feet next time I'm in Brampton.

And backs and heads!!!!!

Beautiful!

As part of a guild challenge, I've been planning to make a very similar wall hanging after the new year after many searches and looking at various aspen photos/quilts/designs. I find I'm having trouble locating the right aspen trunk fabric. Can you tell me where you found yours, the brand, etc.? Or do you have any left, even a small amount that I might buy or trade for? Thanks in advance. I LOVE this piece you've posted! :thumbup:

That is fantastic, so colorful and creative

You never cease to amaze and delight me.

Jan, surely you should have been able to find it with Patchwork Plus at your doorstep, or thereabouts?? I dream of going there often and it is a good thing that I can't go often as there are so many fabrics I just can't resist.

Beautiful! Is it a pattern or your own?

WOW, stunning, and warms my heart! Thanks for sharing.

This particular fabric I painted and as I like to tell my friends YOU CAN TOO. This is spatter painted using a permanent fabric paint. I use Seta Colour, DHMARA trading carries it but I've also used ink pencils and ink blocks that can be found at either good craft stores or art supply stores. More people need to adopt my mantra I CAN DO THIS. I included a pic of the full metre I did last month. You can also get a really good affect using just a black crayon. Trust me on this one. It's not magic. When you cut a thin slice, that's when the magic happens. Good luck!
