Have had a busy weekend, but mostly non-quilting...and some lessons - still heaps to catch up there.
in between other things I am slowly re-doing a small wholecloth I did some time ago, with the thought I may add something like borders and then more borders...as I cant quite work out how to exactly do a large whole cloth quilt.
I wish I could work out how to get nice fine black lines...and I am hoping to see if I take this to a printing place I can get it all together neatly.
Sadly I cant remember how exactly I go it all together for the last one...but if I get one square - it will be easy to put on the fabric - I think !! Maybe just the pencil lines will be enough for me to copy as it is.
Then I will need to design the various borders!!
I am also waiting for fabric to arrive to get my Thread Head BOM borders on, and get that one all put together - and work on my feathered star block - which I am doing by hand ...slowly!
Your designs are always so amazing!! Beautiful!♥
ReplyDeleteYour designing is coming along so well; you have a real knack for it - and for drawing feathers!
ReplyDeleteThe design issues will get worked out, I have faith in you.
ReplyDeleteTell me about those blue drawing tools you are using, where do you find things like that?

When I get around to doing my whole cloth experiment I'll need to fashion up some sort of light box first (you know me I'll probably do my whole cloth on a hand dyed fabric which would be hard to see through - typical :0} )
ReplyDeleteYour design is looking fantastic - please keep showing some in progress photos and share lessons learnt
Hi Joan, I don´t understund so well your enter... ¿First, do you draw your design on paper? Don´t you make your design with software, like V6? I´m learning this software, but for make embroidering I know you can make quilts designs with it... Thanks and bye joan.
ReplyDeleteThe design you are drawing looks stunning already! Wow, love those feathers!!
ReplyDeleteYour work gives me the shivers, and that is a good thing. WOW!
ReplyDeleteWhat you have designed so far looks great. I am sure it will work it self out. Thanks for the comment on my blog.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is absolutely stunning!

I love working with pencil and paper, I'm sure you'll work it out. I even have a set of french curves like you but I still haven't got around to using them. I have an Irena Bluhm book on designing whole cloths but hers are mostly in circular format. This looks more like Sharon Schamber's style which I love.
ReplyDeleteGreat drawings Joan! You can use an architect pigment pen #5 or finer for fine lines. Draw over your pencil lines then erase, you will have a nice sharp black line.
ReplyDeleteYour work is beautiful as always!...
This is simply gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYour drafting skills are FAB. Have you looked at any Karen McTavish books for how to do the large pieces? I really enjoy following your progress!
