The Quilting is Finished…
The soaking and blocking is done, and it’s currently drying. Tomorrow the painting begins. A couple pictures so you can see how it looks before painting.
And the back…
I must admit that after spending over 200 hours quilting this, I am a little nervous about my plan to use a wet technique for color. But it worked very well on my small test pieces so I will stick with the plan. Wish me luck!
Totally gorgeous!
WOW! I LOVE IT! Are you entering this in a show? You SHOULD! It is spectacular!
Amazing!!
I’m in awe! I’ll be thinking good thoughts that your painting process will be perfect!
Cool it will be in Irena Bluhms book!
Can’t wait to see the finished product. It is just stunning.
This is so inspiring Deb- the back as much as the front. I can’t wait to see it painted.
Well the back looks wonderful in the photo so maybe that can be the front if you mess it up ….of course, I’m sure you won’t mess it up.
my gosh Deb this is unbelievably fabulous! What you do with thread is amazing!
Gorgeous! In fact, I don’t think words like ‘gorgeous’ do justice to this piece. I am floored by how much skill, patience and work went into it. I am sure your painting will come out great – how can it not?!
Wow, it’s so beutiful it hurts! Good, good luck! You have a winner!
