...Susan: Absolutely, use my idea! And have fun. :-)<br /><br />Elizabeth: The silk thread was Tiara; it is made in Japan. It is apparently distributed by Superior... I just hunted it down on the web here: http://www.superiorthreads.com/shop/category/50-tiara-silk/products/<br /><br />I used my favorite Aurifil #50 Cotton Mako in the bobbin, and it worked great. No snags or breaks.<br /><br />The fabric is Radiance by Robert Kaufman. It is a silk/cotton blend, and one side has a silkier sheen. I hand-dyed it; the dye takes differently on each side.Susan Brubaker Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490050360258082767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-25429606869675538952012-01-05T20:56:08.335-05:002012-01-05T20:56:08.335-05:00Cornwoman: The Sketchbook Challenge is a blog dedi...Cornwoman: The Sketchbook Challenge is a blog dedicated to inspiring artists to work in a sketchbook. You can do it as much or as little as you choose. There are host artists who run it, and they have a different theme each month. These kind of act like "prompts" to make you think and work in new directions. <br /><br />Then, if you like, you can post photos of what you are doing in their Flicker group. There are prizes each month drawn at random for those who post. <br /><br />Quite a few of the host artists are fiber artists, but there is no part of the challenge that goes beyond sketching. You could always sign up and just watch, and decide if you want to participate.Susan Brubaker Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490050360258082767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-53569453183477003792012-01-05T20:47:32.647-05:002012-01-05T20:47:32.647-05:00your doddling exercise turned free motion quilting...your doddling exercise turned free motion quilting was unbelievable!<br />you mentined that you used "Silk Thread" may i ask what kind/brand?<br />i'm so inspired! thanks!<br />elizabeth dukeelizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15354550575317596435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-1649229052934760632012-01-05T20:05:29.767-05:002012-01-05T20:05:29.767-05:00Very beautiful doddles!Very beautiful doddles!Frederiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13325486302590953626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-76941882339469862472012-01-05T12:00:38.864-05:002012-01-05T12:00:38.864-05:00What a great idea!

Your work is always so clean, precise and beautiful. These qualities really attract me to your art.

Is the premise of the challenge just to do the sketches, or to also translate it into quilting as well?? <br /><br />Hmmm...I have already committed myself to a few other challenges for the year, so will have to think about it a bit to see if I have time to do this challenge also.
