But I will say quilting is stretching my brain and this board is certainly helping with the artist part.

I think you did a GREAT job on it!! I would like to try something like that. What is the title of the book and who wrote it?

The book is called The Art of the Needle by Jan Beaney. It is old, published in 1988 by Random House. But the ideas are something we could translate to todays fibers and sewing machines.

VERY BEAUTIFUL!!! What brand of fabric paint did you use. I am working on my challenge and also want to use fabric paint but unsure of type. Keep up the good work!
