I just read the Aug/Set [ a bit behind, are we?], issue of Quilting Arts Mag. About dying fabric-Create Your Own Fabrics, awesome for those afraid of fabric dyeing . If you can get your hands on it, check the snow dyeing method, wowzers-easy and beautiful.You can get back issues on their website.

Just a little snippet here, to let you know I’m alive and well, just working like a fiend with on a few commissioned quilts with deadlines. I shall return….

Ledia,
I’m so sorry to be so late in responding, I’ve been jamming to get out several consignments and that is all I have been doing.
Thank you for your interest in this article mentioned and my post. I don’t know if Quilting Arts magizine has a link to this article, it was the Aug/Sept issue. They have a web site packed with loads of useful information, you might look for help there.
I’m thinking UTube as well, there’s so many tutrials on it.

"Why is it that Barbara Harms- Barbara Harms, Up Close and Personal I'm a fiber quilt artist, working in mixed media . My family is filled with artists & I inherited an aptitude for art. By my teens I had narrowed my focus to painting. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild, their youngest member at the time. I was totally out of my league, a teen, in a room of adults. Mute, taking it all in. I hoped I went unnoticed, a fly on the wall, unlikely. A silent teenager in their midst, I’m pretty sure they noticed. But being emerged in art, exposed to serious artists, was a great experience. I’ve painted for most of my life. So, there you have it, the "glorious" beginnings of my artistic "career"! I've continued to paint for most of my life. I was introduced to quilting after moving to Oregon & instantly in love. It was new & exciting, I jumped in. As enjoyable as I found quilting, I began to missed painting, Then, I discovered fiber art quilting, I was finally home. My Process & Approach For me, it's the process of creating that holds the strongest attraction. I love starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, then I follow where it leads. My style is fairly loose and instinctual. The choices and decisions that come up as I work on a piece, are made based on my gut feelings. This can result in quite a few changes in direction. This approach can lead to many changes in the direction. it takes The outcome can come as a surprise. I love that element of surprise. Sometimes everything just comes together & I think that this is one of my better ones. I can’t wait to show someone. I feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand. He can't wait to show Mom. At those times I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.
