Ferret Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 I am putting in progress pictures of my latest art quilt onto my blog as I work on it. It's 7' tall so I can only see a little at a time, but I thought people might enjoy seeing it as I do when I work on them. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sewlinzi Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 It looks incredible, even just this tiny bit - your gallery will be stunning - counting down the finishing off days now...?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatSchafer Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Incredible piece. Have to spend some time on your blog understanding how you support a large piece. I love Janet Fogg's work and I'm taking a class from her in November. Her looming cat in the AQS show last year brought the whole show alive.

hollyc Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 the eyes are perfect. I would have no idea how to even start an art project...I'm a plain ordinary bed quilter! Beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiltmonkey Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Oh he's really cool looking....or is it a she?? Perfect batik for the green dragon skin, too. I wonder if he/she will have big sharp teeth or flames??? Is she guarding a medieval castle in the northern part of England? And, is this a nice dragon or a mean dragon? Maybe she's a mean one but becomes nice after she trusts you? (like in the movie Shrek) I see a small hit of "nice" in the eyes, but imagine she can be mean if you push her in the corner or instinctivly she doesn't trust you. The eyes say everything, don't they? Can't wait to see more. Love your work Ferret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted July 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 She is how you make her So yes if you're nice she's nice, if not...oh dear. She will be guarding a gallery in Birmingham and yes she has teeth and claws, and all dragons can breath fire if they want to I've just taken a break from trimming dragon toe nails. The things I get to do I've also just had a series of questions from the guy who has to build my stand at the show. Apparently I have provided him with some challenges. They did say I could be different and gave me some ideas of what is possible. I think I took them up on everything and now they have to work out how to actually build it.

JustSewSimple Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ferret, did you draw her yourself? Then you appliqued her by hand? Or is she a raw-edge applique? All I know is I wish I had your creativity (and that of DoodleBug) and your talent! Well, duh! I re-read and see that your "dragon guy" drew it! What a talent.

Ferret Posted July 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2009 Thanks Shana, I was too tired to play with it. I was working on this till gone 2am then had a full days teaching today. I took it to work with me to get this picture, but it was a bit sunny and I had to use my phone so I can only post it to my blog. Bed now I have a customer quilt I need done by 3pm tomorrow and it's 80"x94". I see an early morning in my future. Ferret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
