I have a great respect for thread painting, even though it just looks like you get in and fill up areas with thread, you don't. You have to try and figure out where to start, how to get from one place to another and where to end. Otherwise you have stray lines all over the place, no need to ask me how I know this!
Our quilt show is in 13 days and this is my first time volunteering to be on the quilt show committee for our guild. (Well, it is the first time I have volunteered at a quilt show, but we don't need to mention that to my guild.) We decided to keep the committee small and do most meetings via email. So far it has worked.
Our big catch, is that we are bringing the Ground Zero quilt to our little town. This quilt made by Lois Jarvis was made in memory of 9/11 and has over 700 faces of the deceased victims on it.
It will be coming on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 and it is the first time this quilt will enter Canada. It has been to 123 places so far.
We are very thrilled to be able to receive such a meaningful tribute to 9/11 for our quilt show. I would love to invite all of you, but most of you live very very far from me=)
We always have a guild boutique where guild members can sell their quilted items etc. This year I got super brave and am going to sell my hand dyed fabric. Well try to anyway. Here is a shot of some fat quarters I have ready to be bundled.
When I get everything packaged and labelled, I will take another picture. Each piece of fabric is not a solid shade, I manipulate it so it has alot of texture in it. So my question to all my dear followers, would you buy any?

The fabric is beautiful, I'm sure you'll sell it, I would absolutely buy some.
You do the most amazing things!!!
Fill me in on where and when and maybe we can finally meet! I love your fabric too:) Great thread painting. I admire that technique tremendously and will someday attempt it. Trying it out on a panel *sounds* less intimidating:)
I would absolutely buy some!
I've seen the Ground Zero quilt in person. It is very interesting from a technical standpoint and very moving on the emotional side.
I would certainly buy your hand dyed fabrics, they are beautiful.
Yes, I would definitely buy some! Hand dyed fabric is so gorgeous in person and unique. Good luck on the quilt show, I just volunteered this year as well and it's been a nightmare. Some people can't handle "power" positions :)
