The other day, while out browsing some of my favorite blogs,
Laura at Quokka Quilts was showing her project from a two day workshop she attended with Helen Godden. I couldn't take my eyes off of her project. I then went in search of
Helen Godden, who just happens to be a very talented quilt artist. After a little more
stalking searching I found out that she was using Lumiere paints by Jaquard. I couldn't find them locally, so I ordered this
little starter pack. Come to find out
Leah Day used these paints on her quilt "Hot Cast".
I received these paints in the mail the other day, but I needed a quilt to try them out on. I knew I had to quilt a sample for the
Sew Cal Gal March FMQ Challenge, so I decided to combine the projects.

These pictures really don't do this little piece justice, the quilt quite literally shimmers in the light. I used the paints without any mixing, applied by a small paint brush. They covered amazingly well. Painting was my first love, so the thought that I can combine the two, makes me a happy girl. I have a feeling that I will need a little more that just the starter pack of paint.
If you were with me last week for
TTT and TNT Thursday, I asked you all about me starting a Quilty Embellishment Linky (QED) Party. I've decided to hold it on the 15th of each month. I hope you will join me. More details to follow.
Of course, I'm linking up today with the
Melissa at Happy Quilting and
Rebecca Lynne at Making Rebecca Lynne!
Color Me Quilty!
