Once I was temp jobbing at a fabric company. I passed the room where several artists were painting designs! I was so excited .

Obviously a lot can be done by computer apps now. I do remember seeing a lens tool that would give you 6 repeats so you could see how the design was patterning.


I particularly enjoby crafters more free form quilting, though I appreciate the more traditional forms.
