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….

About Myself & My Approach
Art has always played a role in my life, in one form or another. My family is filled with many artist's, so my love of art came naturally.
By my teens, I had narrowed my focus to painting. I decided I was going to become a serious painter. I joined the Las Vegas Artist's Guild at 15, the youngest member at that time.
I've continued to paint throughout my life. On occasion I've sold my work, but I had more important priorities, I was raising my children, part of that time as a single parent.
My circumstances have changed, the kids are grown and I have more time for Art. Art is a form of therapy for me.
I was introduced to quilting & fell in love.
In time I missed the creative freedom painting made possible.
Then I discovered mixed media fiber art, I was home.
MY APPROACH TO ART
It's the creative process that holds the greatest attraction for me. Starting with a tiny seed of an idea; vague and blurred around the edges, I follow where that leads.
My approach is an instinctual one. Generally, I do little pre-planning. I make creative decisions, choices, directions to take as they present themselves.
This approach can lead to quite a few changes in the direction the quilt takes. The outcome can come as a surprise. I love that element of surprise!
Sometimes everything just comes together & I think to myself, "this is one of my better ones". when that happens, I can’t wait to show someone. I feel like a six year old, running home from school, a drawing in hand, excited to show Mom. At those times. I'm smiling like the Cheshire cat.
I’ve had work published in several magazines., which is gratifying. But the most gratifying thing is having clients be really happy with their purchased art quilt.

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.
