Hi Norma,
Thank you. And thanks to everyone who has left comments, the chances of my finishing the quilting have gone up. Boy do I drag my feet when it comes to sitting down at the machine to quilt. I can paint all day but……. need a magic quilting fairy!!

Hi Karen,
You are welcome, however I whish to thank you for the kind words. Sometimes I get distracted and need a nudge to get going again. Having the Quilt List people to share with means a lot, as I’m sure you know.

Hi Nancy,
Thank you. I love to paint on lots of surfaces but I must say that fabric is the most challenging because the paint and dye love to bleed out where you don’t want them to. It is always and adventure!

Hi Patty,
I am glad you enjoyed my painting, thanks. The thickened paint really helps to achieve detail but a really good permanent pen is essential to drawing fine lines like the rigging. It would be impossible to get such fine lines on fabric with a brush – I tried : ) Give it a go!

I think you did a fantastic job on this using the dynaflo paints. Although I do a lot of drawing, I have never attempted this on fabric. But…I think I should.
