I've been thinking about doing some videos. I need to buy a digital video camera first. Thanks Tracy - it’s fascinating to see how artists in other media construct their work.

As someone who doesn't work in textiles, I didn't know the how's and why's. RThanks for sharing this! Cool little demo; enlightening.

I think about other mediums but the textiles always win - good luck getting to your quilt! Jackie - Thank you. I don't think there were any secrets in this post - it's pretty traditional quilt making techniques. It's what someone does with it that makes art and we all have our own unique inner vision. Karen and Linda - I think a lot of people think those thin lines are on the top - which was much of the motivation for this post - to show the techniques I use - which I think result in a really well crafted piece of art.

I'm not a quilter or a sewer but I was fascinated to read about your technique. It creates such a crisp, well made and finished piece of work, front and back. I, too, thought the lines were added to the tops of the larger pieces of fabric. Your color palettes are very inspiring! Hi Lisa,

It was interesting to see the neatnes of the reverse too. I agree that this is important, it seems to me that this is part of the integrity of a piece of work.

Am enjoying catching up with what you've been doing this year. Best wishes, Rhiannon Hi Lisa,

So interesting to read about how you go about constructing your work - and it inspires me, when I have a little time, to get my trusty ( neglected) sewing machine out and complete a piece that I started at a workshop a few years ago - which I never completed, as photography took over more and more.

Am enjoying catching up with what you’ve been doing this year.
Best wishes,
Rhiannon
