Hi I love the magazine and I am very inspired by it. However, I just opened my new copy of Quilting Arts and read your editorial. Although my stash of embellishments is important to me I was a bit upset by your use of Sophie's Choice. In that story Sophie must choose between which of her children should go on the line that she knows is to the gas chamber and which will possibly have a chance to live. This was an impossible choice from a harrowing time in history and that choice haunts her till her death by suicide. Choosing which embellishments to save does not come anywhere near such a choice.

Great tips!

I have been painting fabric for over fifteen years and I love it! I have homemade stretcher frames that allow me to approach the fabric more like a painter approaches a canvas and other times I do lay the fabric on a hard surface. Either way I love that there is a limited amount of control when the paint and water hit the fiber - there is almost always a surprise. As an artist I believe the more layers in a painted fabric piece the better - But as a quilter it sometimes is a challenge when I want the quilting to be on top of a painted piece.
