Hello everyone! First, I want to thank you for taking the time to come to my blog. I have never tried such an adventure so this should be an interesting adventure. I am a part of a several groups who focus is either on quilting or textile mixed medium. If this is what you are interested in then this is the place to come.
One of my favorite groups online is the www.quiltart.com group. This is an email group from a group of most talented folks who share their wonderful adventures and their willingness to share their experience. From the very beginner to the most experienced all are welcome.
Many of the folks at quiltart have a blog and I've read most all. I love it when they share their travels. One of the things I enjoy most is when they share their techniques. I may be in the middle of a wall hanging and need help. Recently, I was almost finished with a piece and decided I wanted to use paint sticks to get a specific effect. I painted the piece and waited 4 days for it to dry and then ironed to set the paint. The paint disappeared on the pressing cloth. I only had 10 days left to send the piece off. I talked the the folks at www.quiltart.com and found some blogs on the subject. I changed my brand to Shiva and waited 4 more days for it to dry and it turned out just fine. It was sent off in the nick of time. We need places to get help because no one knows every technique there is. And with the wonderful new discoveries that are opening up the world for us we all must share what we learn so others that come after us will be able to grow as we are. PSSSSTTTT........all are my opinions :)
I've learned that to share feels good so I'm going to feel good as often as I can.
Again, welcome and thanks for stopping by. Cheryl
