    So beautiful. I have no intention of ever attempting something like this but love listening and reading how you did it and just getting inspired for the quilting part of it. I'll patiently wait until you get back to the Goddess…

    Looking amazing! I can't believe how quickly she's progressing.

  3. That is looking beautiful! I can't believe how much is going into that piece but I know it will be a treasure when complete. Really…. That is really something!!

  4. Leah,

    I can't believe how talented you are. Everything you make is amazing. I'm glad you answered the question about the thread I was wondering how that worked.

    Again you do beautiful work.

    Manmade fibres like polyester need Disperse dyes, or dyes which need heat, ie in a pot on the cooker, or need heat to set, like steaming or zapping in a microwave. Hardly fit a quilt in though!
    I love looking at the designs although don't quilt, I am using to step away from my normal background surface stitching.
    Thank you

    That is looking so nice! Love the pineapple design on the arms. Looks like the pineapple crochet design!

    Wow! your goddess quilt is looking stunning. I especially love how you quilt the arms and face. It really pops and gives her a nice shape.

    Very beautiful work Leah! I've never experimented with dyes, but it sounds very interesting to try.

    Making samples is such an important part of the design process and one that is common to skip. We never really know how a quilt will turn out when we start the process, but making samples at least gives us a clue.

    Leah, this piece is beautiful, but I can not wrap my head around even how to start something like this. You are doing an awesome job!
