Ripped from Reality – Africa
I couldn't wait to start this project, but in reality I should wait till daylight… I know I see the colors differently in natural light. Nevertheless, I put the Bayeux Discipline castle (Dinan Castle) aside after 5.00 and worked on this project a little. I've been working on that darn castle for 2 days now….
Ripped from Reality – Africa
As mentioned in the previous post I have decided to thread paint the image and then add it to the background. I have some wonderful Cherrywood fabric which is almost the same mud color as the Incebetha/front apron. I printed the image on to a soft, fine, white cotton backed with Vliesofix. You can see…
Can I do it.? – Ripped from Reality.
I might fall flat on my face trying this portrait. Its heavily detailed and the colors are similar in the face. This is part of my 'Ripped from Reality" series, and on the suggestion of a friend, Miss Rainee. I have decided to do a series of images featuring women and children. BUT, each one…
My Fusible web Problem – An exerpt from my general daily blog.
Another day of experimenting with the fusible web. Last night I prepared a couple of horses and riders on Vliesofix. I was able to purchase some yesterday from a local quilt store. Vliesofix is a German product but was not sold in the USA under that name. Many of my friends tried to buy it…

Fusible web.
I have been consumed with my fusible web problem. I've had lots of suggestions and I did try some of the techniques to repair it… but it's not going to work for the amount of work and the small pieces I work with.. for instance… the hands of the soldiers, the fingers are about 1/16th…
My fusible is unfused.
I've been working on my program all week and finally its finished. I'm confident about doing a program with quilting content, but this is a little more so I've taken a lot longer to get it just right. Music is synced, and it all runs smoothly. I have a back up in case the computer…
Bayeux Discipline
I've been in the studio since 4.00am, so now it's time to retire for the night. I've been working on my presentation for Friday night…. (hope to see some Locals there) It takes almost a week to prepare it and do the timing and add content to music. Its very different and you will see…
