I dont go in for the fancy quilting stitch designs or the pro long arm quilting.<br />I think that sometimes when it comes to quilting that less is more and things can lose their impact when overdone with stitching to the point where the pattern of the fabric print gets lost <br /><br />Thankyou for your encouragement and yes time is the main factor at present, and I feel good about accepting your compliments about my work, something that I have not been very good at doing in the past so thank you againPrincesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021504621181130629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459059251716959307.post-77324226182893969082010-02-21T14:35:14.421+11:002010-02-21T14:35:14.421+11:00Dear Mago,

Quilting is...Dear Xl,<br />Sorry to scare you like that.<br />Quilting is a facinating art and though it is not a tradition in my family I seem to have taken up the challange. initially making them as gift heirlooms for nieces and nephews but word of mouth has eventually turned it into a paying hobby and I have plans to turn it into a business down the track.<br />I have been asked on a couple of occasions to display my work at various fund raisers and charity events, which to be honest "Blew me away " as I didn't appreciate the skill that I apparentley have in doing this type of work. <br />Though I am getting better at acknowledging my work as having merit and that people ate prepared to pay for quality workmanship.Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11021504621181130629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459059251716959307.post-49798886679713350872010-02-21T05:37:24.291+11:002010-02-21T05:37:24.291+11:00You are very talented!

...You are very talented! The totes look very nice.<br /><br />I really like the photos of the bed quilts. I'm a big fan of geometric patterns--particularly art deco designs.<br /><br />Leah is right. You've got the potential for a big internet business. All you need now is time. And like you said, your mother comes first. Hope all is well with her.<br /><br />You really do have fantastic design skills!eroswingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06678990077292314028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459059251716959307.post-84830583939013880702010-02-21T05:11:51.788+11:002010-02-21T05:11:51.788+11:00?

Have you thought about setting up an online <a href="http://www.etsy.com" rel="nofollow">etsy shop</a>? It costs less than nothing to do, and then you could advertise a link to your shop...plus you can set up a paypal account...just one idea. Of course, you may have more business than you can handle anyway!<br /><br />I would love to buy totes if you have time or inclination to arrange an overseas transaction after the Empress is all taken care of!<br /><br />If not, I will admire from afar.Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061893047279652658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2459059251716959307.post-67381812955029840702010-02-21T00:53:03.282+11:002010-02-21T00:53:03.282+11:00"asked to display some of her wares"
