Love your quilt. I remeber ball point paint back in the 70's. Will you tell us where you got patterns? I think you can buy the paints today at craft stores.great work you earn that Blue Ribbon.

Great job, glad to see the blocks finished. I have several sets of different designs to do "someday". and some like yours that aren't put together yet. You have been a great inspiration for me to get busy. Also sold TriChem for 15 years. The new stuff they have is great but expensive. Your friend deserves kudos for getting you to share pictures.

There was no pattern. Along with the liquid paints, they also sold different things that had a design printed on them (sort of like paint-by-number). Then you just painted them with the paints. They had several different designs for quilt blocks, table runners, pictures for your wall etc. So, sorry, there is no patten. You might try children's coloring books though for cute designs and then you could use applique to do them up into quilt blocks. Just an idea.

That's the best job I've ever seen of coloring with a TriChem type pen! Beautiful work! Do they even make those pens anymore? I thought they were fun!

Love the quilt and the story that goes with it should be put on your quilt label.

I remember them from tri-chem.

so sweet and i know you are proud...

Your quilt is beautiful. I made this quilt years ago and used a burgundy fabric for the sashing and borders and gave it to my daughter. You brought some good memories. Tri-Chem paints and it was a party plan.

I love your quilt, those little dolls are so cute.
I remember Tri-Chem and Artex.. my mom used both of them. I still have a few things she did.
Thanks for sharing.

This was a fun posting and so glad to meet all of you. Right now I am working on my granddaughter's t-shirt quilt. She graduates on June 11 so I have to have it finised by the 9th when we leave. Will post a pic when I get it done. Hand quilting takes forever!!!!I have several questions (and problems)about hand quilting but will wait until I have more time to ask. Thanks everyone for all the comments.

Very nice. Glad you finally finished. Sometimes quilts just seem to take a while to finish. I am working on a quilt for my 2 year old granddaughter that I started when my son was13 years old. I only have two Sunbonnet Sues to add to two blank blocks, sandwich it and quilt it. :-D :-D :-D

Carolyn T 05-22-2010 11:02 AM

Thanks everyone.I use coloring books alot.

OMG I remember those liquid embroidery kits now, completely forgot about them. What a trip on memory lane, my grandmother got me some, they were expensive for her at the time. They had a needle nose tip right?

I hope that you included your story on the label for the back. It is a treasure to remember and enjoy.

Love it!
