Comments on: The Making of… http://tulapink.com/2007/12/28/the-making-of/ Thu, 11 Mar 2010 18:46:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.1 By: Laura Burke http://tulapink.com/2007/12/28/the-making-of/#comment-6498 Laura Burke Mon, 08 Jun 2009 13:09:37 +0000 http://tulapink.com/2007/12/28/the-making-of/#comment-6498 My 7 yr old daughter is working on her first hand applique project, a simple Quilt Soup pattern, but I purchased for her your Flutterby fabric in the pinks, brown with touch of blue, and she is doing an amazing job! I am, of course, doing the "iron" work, which is my preferred method of hand applique (paintbrushing starch on seam and ironing over freezer paper) while she hand stitches to the background. I hope she forges ahead and completes her quilt, I will send you a photo when she does! BTW, I'm a wee bit jealous of the designers that make it out there - I'm a talented and creative person who can't stop sketching and dreaming about the quilts I don't have time to make because I have 2 small children. I live in Dallas, Moda is here. I dream of showing them my work someday, but I don't know where to begin. I noticed you worked for Moda. Is that what you would suggest? I don't design fabric necessarily, but draw quilt patterns, non-traditional, more trendy. Also - hexagons ARE addictive! I do 1" and several times have sat up ALL night handstitching - didn't make for a good next day to take care of babies! Keep you lucious fabrics coming for us! I missed the baby window for making beautiful fun clothes for my daughter like your baby sisters, oh how I still dream of fun dresses but she is only into wearing Justice neons and blue jean shorts!

I really like the greens. These line drawings are so simple and striking at the same time. I love seeing the sketch behind the fabric. I think digitizing these would be much more fun than doing sport stuff for screenprinting. (Which I use to do.) I was just looking at your hushabye photos, they’re lovely. I really like the greens.

I did a google search for owl drawings because I am "researching" for my next tattoo. Luckily I came across your drawing. The owl is very important to me and I take this tattoo very serious. Of everything I've seen I loved yours most. I'm not usually one to take the direct drawing of artists, so I wanted to ask your permission to use your owl drawing for my tattoo. If you would like to keep it to yourself I totally understand and will respect the artist's wishes. But it just struck me as so beautiful and serene. Thank you so much! You can email me back or respond however you do... Not sure. heh. -Jessica Hello there. I did a google search for owl drawings because I am “researching” for my next tattoo.
