Maybe I missed it, but after you quilt on the tulle what then ? Just leave the tulle in place? I think the fun part would be making the confetti ! Need to think on this one for a bit !

You bind the edges and have the adult beverage of your choice!

So, tomorrow is the big day. Filming to start at 10. 10 to 2. Seems like a long time to me but I know nothing about this filming process. I spent most of the day today teaching Confetti and I will be showing you their finished projects in soon. By the way, I am changing the name of this process. I am going to call it
"Painting with Fabric". I think that says it all!

I put mine in a frame. See pigcasso at

I think it would be fun to see your students work sometime.

I think it would be fun to see your students work sometime.

I posted 2 of them earlier today and I will be posting more as soon as class is over.One of them finishes next week and another one finishes the week after that. Stay tuned!

Thanks so much.

And here you are! two more of my students work in progress. I just love watching the pictures emerge from all the little pieces!

The video update -
Filming is done and editing starts. I should have the first draft soon and I can hardly stand the suspense. I offered to pay extra for air brushing. You know, where they make you look 20 years younger and thinner!! LOL We'll see what we end up with. I'm getting cold feet at this point. Like any artist, there is a moment of panic before a reveal. Will they like it? Who do I think I am? Maybe this isn't as great as I thought it was,,,etc. I am brave, however, and I will charge ahead. My father, the US Marine, would approve.

Well, Jan, I can only speak for myself but I'm anxiously awaiting the video. Please keep us updated on its release.

Thx, Pocoellie, you made me smile and I will keep you posted.

Such nice work by your students. Thanks so much. I have to admit after reading everything you instructed, I went ahead and did some "artwork" on my own. I will post a picture soon. I thoroughly enjoyed the process and am reasonably pleased with the outcome.

I knew when I gave out the instructions for this work that many of you would go ahead and make this "art" on your own.And good for you. However, I also knew that there are those who prefer more instruction and direction who will wait for my video. We all share the things we learn don't we? Even so, there are plenty of people that want an instructor to make things clear, to assist when a roadblock pops up and to cheer them on when they are unsure. That's where I come in. Be sure to show us your result. Even though I wasn't standing there with you, I had a hand in your "artwork". Show me!!

I started simple with my first attempt at a Confetti Quilt and I did use a spray adhesive that helped me a lot. Next I want to do a picture of Lake Michigan. Thanks for introducing this to everyone. What do you think of my first attempt? Linny

I see I'm still not a very good photographer.

No, you can speak for me too! I am so intrigued! This is going to be one awesome project. I don't think you can go wrong. Seems like the kind of project that no matter how it turns out you can just say, that is how it is suppose to look. (-; I love it! Very excited to get started.

Wow amazing work by your students. I'llhav eto read up on this technique. Looks fun. And good therapy cutting up with rotary cutter all those itty bitty pieces. Thanks for taking the time to explain it all.

Did the video come out for this technique? It is cool.

I can't wait to see and purchase your video. The instructions sound easy but "I am am a work with instructions I can keep looking at " type of person. Please let me know when the video is ready

I can recall using this technique with a Sulky water soluable interfacing, back in the early '90's. The improvement with the tulle is that the fabric will protect any pieces not caught by the thread. Thank you so much for sharing your technical advice. Will look forward to the video.

Just a quick update.
Video is being edited right now. I also discovered a new weight loss program by accident! Just hire a video guy to tape you for a couple of hours. I can see big money in this.LOL After I got over the shock of seeing myself as others see me, I edited and now I wait for the guy to send me the nearly finished product. We are getting closer.

This all is very exciting. Thanks for sharing and good luck with sales :thumbup:

Thank you all so much for the words of encouragement.

Thanks for keeping us unpdeated!

My pleasure.

Do you have an estimated time yet of when the video will be out? Thanks for keeping us updated.

Thank u for the details, I am keeping my small triangles in a shoe box which cut from corners and going to use them as feeding them to the machine during quilting to be a door mat.
But your idea cuting , cover them must be nicer and more active
Thank u again and good luck with the video

I keep all of my cutaways, scraps, etc., I have a plastic bag hanging out of the way on my cutting/sewing table and toss them in, I find all kinds of uses for that stuff. This being one. I also use bits when I need to check how my stitches are on my sewing machine, etc. It is all in there and waiting for a new (thing) to use it on.

I love that Italian sunset!

Hi, Sewbeadit
I just want to say how I love your Avatar! I have one Just like that too! they sure sew great, And I think some call them 'The Grasshopers' LOL Also I see were in WA.

Have I missed something? Is there a video or CD? I would love to try this technique, but need visual instructions.

Sew what is the name of the website and video? Sounds very fun.

I PM'd her earlier & asked for her website. I'm looking forward to trying this. I'm unsure about posting it here. If I can I will.

Hi Icon17, I love the machine too they are great and are called the grasshopper. Where did you find yours? We found this one on ebay for a fortune when machines were selling really high a few years ago. I don't regret buying it one bit tho. I am glad you like my Avatar pic. Yes, we are both in Wa. you are way up there and I am way down and west near the coast.lol There seems to be quite a few from Wa on here, we should all get together sometime.

I also thank you for sharing. I have wanted to try this for a while and y our tutorial has given me reason to do so. I love the picture of the dog. All of your students have done soooo well.

Thanks dublb. I will pm her myself. Duh...why didn't I think of that?...lol.
