Quilting and Patchwork

What Do You Do On a Quilting Day?

by Mary Emma Allen on November 19th, 2006

My daughter often paints fabric for inspiration.  This gives her new items to work with and new ideas to try.

The other day I came home to find pieces of colorful fabric drying in the living room, on the deck, and on the shower rod.  Beth had been painting fabric and dryer sheets before she hurried off to her fiber arts group meeting.

Beth frequently tries new techniques and new media for her fiber art.  I haven’t had an opportunity to ask how she plans to use the painted dryer sheets.

However, these colorful fabrics will make lovely designs, I’m sure.  I’m intrigued by some of the techniques she tries.  I haven’t tried dying fabric, but am very tempted to do some fabric painting myself.

Beth was taking photos of the fabrics tonight and soon will have them on her quilting blog, http://meanderingthreads.blogspot.com/ .

What do you do on your quilting days?  What new techniques have you tried?
