I'm De from Oklahoma and came to CQing from a mixed media background. I'm new, new, new to CQ International (and relatively new to CQing) so please let me know if I blunder with anything - I just want to join in on the fun and learn and share what little knowledge I have with others.

I've been printing on fabric for quite a while (have an online store that has fabric collage sheets), and also do transfers using Transfer Artists Paper (TAP) as well as with transparencies. I use an Epson printer with DuraBrite inks (I noticed a questions about fading, washing, etc.). With these types of inks there is no need to use Bubble Jet - and they don't fade, bleed when washed - they have an archival period of about 70 years I believe! The colors are bright and saturate well into the fabric. I hope this info is helpful...

Hi I am a newbie here. I have studied surface design for the last 5 years at college and i love it. I really enjoy printing and screen printing especially thermofax screen prints.I am working on a piece of organza which i am screen printing and then i will embellish and then add stitch. Its going to be a curtain.Well that is the design and the plan, seeing it hanging from a window will be an other thing LOL. Hope to get to know everyone here. Love Chris

Hi, I'm Kim. I'm a freelance textile designer struggling with a very slow internet connection! Favorite techniques include heat transfer printing, digital print and hand embroidery. Oh, I also write a blog http://Witchmountain.wordpress.com which is celebrating it's1st birthday on the 21st April and I'm giving away a handmade notebook to one lucky reader...
Best wishes to you all.x

Welcome Cindy! Sounds like you're well on your way using all those techniques.

Hi everyone. I'm Cindy and I just joined in. I have been dabbling in hand-dyeing, painting, monoprinting, stamping, ink-jet printing and the like. I need to get more serious about it. I make art quilts and I really want to create really interesting and complex surfaces for my backgrounds before I begin the collaging and quilting.

Hi I'm DebraAnn. I'm mainly a hand embroiderer and mostly on muslin but I have recently started to get a little more adventurous watercoloring my fabric and trying to think of other interesting things to spice things up.

Hi I'm new.
I've done a bit of mixed media stuff and have just started to do some stitching too, machine and hand embroidery and attaching fibres etc.
This looks like the place to be.
A challenge sounds good if you don't mind beginners
