Oh yes! It&#39;s heavily embellished and gives me insight into what you can expect to see in creative quilting during the coming year. Detail of &quot;Tranquil Marsh-Wild Iris&quot; by Elena Stokes.

I found an online collage site and am creating digital collages which I plan to transfer to my quilts and then further embelish with fabric, thread painting, and vintage beads and sequins.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=41601" width="1" height="1">re: The Future of Quilting - Three Trends to Watchhttp://www.quiltingdaily.com/blogs/quilting-daily/archive/2013/01/22/the-future-of-quilting-three-trends-to-watch.aspx#41478Sat, 26 Jan 2013 15:47:55 GMTdd4ad8cd-147d-404a-a568-5abd2115af5b:41478starvingquilter<p>I am an artist, and I love designing quilts, but I cant sew for taffy, so I always have to get it sewn, pretty expensive. I am working on doing a picture of some pony chuckwagon horses, very dramatic, I am doing applique, but have never done this before and it is turning out to be very ardulous, it will be white and grey on black, I love working negatively and kinda backwards. I have also done lots of hand batiking and I want to do a quilt with total hand done batik, maybe I should have done this quilt that way, come to think of it. I also used to take pictures at rodeos, and sold 8 by 10 glossies of my photos, so that is where the picture came from, the guys team was all black, beautiful little ponies &nbsp;with very pretty harness with </p> <p>hearts, striking team. </p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.quiltingdaily.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=41478" width="1" height="1">
