I finally printed my 3 large linos! I'm really happy with the way they turned out! I now have the fabric sandwiched and ready to stitch. I'm planning on stitching with rayon thread (two strands through the machine needle). Then I will add paint or maybe thickened dye! Not too sure yet. I'll just wait and see how the quilting goes first! This feels vaguely back to front! Quilting first - colouring last. Ah well.
I was a little late for work this morning! I just couldn't drive past this view without stopping to take a photo or two.
I live in paradise!
As I was taking the photo of the bay, this little duck swam around the corner of the grasses.
I love the glassy ripples on the surface of the water. The reflections were magic.
A perfect start to a perfect Autumn day!

Love the print Sally, congratulations.
I also love that print, and your photos, we are warming up but the week end was lovely.
WOW..turned out great...can't wait to see what you do with the quilting. Have you tried Madiera Lana thread? 50% wool and 50% acrylic! It's a 12 wt and REALLY nice for either hand or machine stitching. I saw Kemshall's use and I purchased some. I like the Aurifil 28 wt. too.
