Prairie Thistle

Profile Information

What textiles are you interested in?
I enjoy working with all types of textiles. Just about anything having to do with fiber and/or needles, Handwork is my favorite, feeling the different textures, and holding the cloth and fibers in my hands. I want to try just about everything needlework related, which is probably why I have so many UFO's. I try something new and once I can manage the technique it's off to try something new.
Where did you learn your textile skills?
I am mostly self taught from books. I can also figure out a lot of techniques just by looking at samples of needlework.

The prairie is great.
I looked at your webshots and noticed you called Dear Jane a sane quilt. Listening to those who are working on them I'm not too sure that is appropriate! Though I guess the quilt is sane, it just creates moments of insanity in the makers!
Also, the idea of Miranda getting wacked makes for a great quilt title.

Thanks Carol; It's sweet to read you because, I was inspired by a white tree embroidered by Christina Porter,and I think it's beautiful in only one color; now, I can look at mine differently.
I like your page and photos, but azs soon as possible, I shall see your blog and site!

Thanks for your reply Carol. You're quite right - if I look at the overall project it's a bit intimidating, but if I do as you suggested, and just think about one seam at a time without worrying about the others, it will fall into place. I feel better already! I'll post a message on my Page here when I've started embellishing.
