Hi again, Thank you so much Shirley and Brita. You help was so appreciated. I can't beleive i found what i was looking for in such a short time. Brita you were spot on!! I think I have died and gone to heaven. It is 7.14am here for me and I am getting ready for work. I can't wait for 5.00pm today. I will devour Phil's site.

This forum and The Quilt Show as a whole, is proving to be the best thing since sliced bread!! I love it.

Thanks again ladies.

Vicky, my first reaction was that it might be Phil Beaver. He does dye his fabrics and the sunflower is a favorite theme in his work. Go to philbeaver.com .

HTH!

Have you tried searching the Simply Quilts videos on HGTV.com? Once there, do a search for quilting videos. I didn't try it but you may be able to narrow the search for Simply Quilts only. I spent a very enjoyable rainy morning today viewing a bunch of them.

Good luck...hope you find what you're looking for.

hand painted/dyed sunflowers ???? 12 Dec 2009 18:18 #41077

Hi, I was hoping that through this forum I might be able to find someone who can steer me in the right direction.

Sometime ago I saw an episode on Simply Quilts that had a gentleman on who had either dyed or painted his own fabrics and had then made a magnificant quilt with sunflowers and chooks (Hens) on it. It was depicting things from his childhood memories i think.

Does this ring any bells for anyone? I would love to see how he did this again and also find out what products he used to accomplish it.

Being an Aussie the show was probably years old before it aired here anyway. Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

vicky :)
