 | Blog Title: Three SIsters in La Veta - Part 1 (03/07/2008) |     | | purplecoyote Says: | | | March 10, 2008 at 11:51 am | | | | Hi Annette, Helen, and Gail, (Ricky and Justin) We're here where I work (Jan in the Pinery) looking at the blog to see if there's anything new. Kathy leaves in a few hours and we were just reminiscing about the two days we had there. Watching the techniques, the artistry, the gallery - all were simply amazing. Thank you for the time you spent with us (Jan, Joe and Kathy). We thoroughly enjoyed it and wish we could have stayed longer. Have fun creating and we hope to see you again. Sincerely, Jan, Joe and of course Kathy! |

She doesn't know if is weaker or stonger than what might be in the US. She then neutralizes it with white vinegar. Lesser quality fabrics often yield better results. Experiment and see what you get! |

We add Aloe Vera gel for a better consistency. Check out www.genesiscreations.com.au hilliardquilter - The design we are working on started as as 8.5 x 11 design and was enlarded at a copy center. The large pieces, then taped together. When enlarging, you may need to fine tune certain shapes. |

More jaw-droppers in progress *_* The Three Sisters quilt just blew me away. I stared (gawked), wide eyed and full of wonder. Isn't that what you ladies hope to accomplish? The sense of wonder is magical in many ways. Wonder about the message; wonder about the techniques. I can see that this newest piece will be as delightful. Oh, how I would love to see it in person. I'm particularly intrigued by the effect of dimension and how that is achieved. Any comments and/or video footage of that technique would be awesome! Thanks again, Ricky for including us in your creative world, and sharing your friends! Jan, back in Spokane I particularly resonated with Mahalo...returned from paradise at 1 a.m. this morning. |

Do you sketch the design out on regular size paper (8.5 X 11) then increase your design? I do a lot of designs of my quilts, but have trouble getting them to match my mind’s eye. I use EQ5 plus graph paper. I would be very grateful for any help; all of your quilts are breathtaking! I hope one day I can become close to your level. Thanks, Susan des Islets, Hilliard Florida |

If yes, what kinds of paints do you use? All of the pieces were breathtaking and very realistic looking. P.S. I loved the fairy -- the lighting around the children and the fairy was amazing. |

I will be tuned in for every one of the blogs on the 3 Sister's. Now, Ricky, are you going to be able to get any work done while they are there? I wouldn't. I would be watching what they were doing. peg in mo |

I'd love to be a fly on the wall, watching these talented women work. Why don't you just turn on the video camera and leave it. We'll have an extended play video of the three sisters in action. They certainly enjoy being together. I know you'll have lots of laughter in the next 10 days. Enjoy!! Sharon in TN (quiltnlady) |
