Thanks for all the info about printing on silk ribbon, for explaining the process, how you chose to use silk, and describing your hand work. I was especially touched at how you wove all of our names - I felt magically connected to all the other MMs. Thanks again for all the great work you do in keeping us motivated and on task, and for being such a great "Den Mother" to all of us !Kathy Hartehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18439720411059490863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-51400354004126229382013-01-17T21:04:44.500-05:002013-01-17T21:04:44.500-05:00As I had so much trouble with this particular them...As I had so much trouble with this particular theme, I knew when I saw what the other members produced I would "kick" myself, and yours is just such a quilt!

After looking at your beautiful quilt, I'm sure that I will use this technique at some point in the future. What a great idea to use the Material Mavens as your interwoven theme. I love it!Carolynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06402863183600409719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-82293765154414360252013-01-16T08:40:23.178-05:002013-01-16T08:40:23.178-05:00As always Alice, it is wonderful.

Your colors and hand quilting around the free-form shape adds that extra personal touch to interwoven relationship sentiments you dipict here. Very sweet piece.JWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13873703819530569975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-84690647625456852652013-01-15T10:37:58.367-05:002013-01-15T10:37:58.367-05:00Nedra, yes, I could explain the process, but, bett...Nedra, yes, I could explain the process, but, better, I can send you to a link that describes it concisely and clearly; it is the same process I found and used from that book I reference above.
