I received so much help and encouragement from everyone during my Teahouse Dragon project, and it was all so very appreciated! Some have commented that they liked viewing along the development of the quilt and were interested in my next project. The fabric was previewed on 1st thread.

O6/19/10. This is the start of my 2nd art quilt.
I hope to have learned not to do some of the Fudges I did in the last one.
Any and all comments are happily accepted.

Ray..

First the design board. This is the main set of fabrics

Looks like you have limited workspace, and yet, your work is wonderful.

Ray, I loved your "Teahouse Dragon", but I think this one might just put a little "shade" over your first. The fabric with the pagoda has a beautiful depth to begin with...the next frame with your thread painting added gives it even more dimension. You certainly have got off to a brilliant start, great fabric selection, love your work area and your vintage machine...I really appreciate being able to see the process from beginning to end, so thanks for posting. Can't wait for the next instalment....let the magic continue....
