Experiments
I like to "experiment" with techniques. Sometimes I get pretty weird and often funny results. Even more often, I get a "Huh" from friends I show my results to.
There is very little under the sun that is original. I would guess that most of the things I have tried have also been tried by someone else. Perhaps successfully!
I would like a place where people can show their failures and successes with odd techniques. I suppose this could fall under the art category although I don't think many people would think of my experimentation as "good art." But it can lead to "good art."
Most of my quilting buddies are not inclined to experiment. Surely there are other "experimenters" out there. I would love to see their experiments. Showing failures as well as successes. I think we could learn a lot from one another.
thank you
Oh Bilbus you are one of mine girls
Do not care about the Huh's
I do get some of those too, but I dont mind. All my quiltingfriend are using patterns when sewing, they want to know what it will look like when they are finished. Its NOTHING wrong with that at all, but I love to do it free-style :shock: I start with some fabric and are sewing until the quilt tells me to stop
All techniques I use have been used before, for ages, but I love to do the techniques my way.
So you just go girl, dont let anyone take away from you your love for quilting the free-style way!!!
