Brent - thanks so much for taking the time to document your process. It’s fantastic.

You’re welcome. Thanks for being interested and for subscribing! It’s a new venture and a little daunting, but something I’ve been wanting to do. So here we are.

Brent you should paint your basement walls in an artsy style. Collect others left over paints and do some peace signs and 70's flowers 😊 it won't be creepy anymore 🤗 LOVE THIS QUILT❤

I left quilting after about 30 years honestly because I had made every single pattern there was to make and every fabric line there was at the time. Watching you work ads a much needed seed that I thought I had run out of. Thank you for showing me how you work it’s fascinating.

Thank you so much for sharing your process. I’m so inspired by your generosity.

Gosh I love catching up on these videos. I learn so much and it’s such a stark contrast to the hectic nature of what you get on your tube. The music and hand work is stunning

[@BrentMcGeeQuilts-ln2zy]

Thank you so much. Glad to be a calm in the storm.

I get that this is not a new video but it is so good. I’m not really an artist and I’m fairly new to quilting but I have in my head to make an art quilt. I’ve been taking classes in drawing and watercolor but still I’ve been at a loss as to where to start. I gotta tell you that over the past 4-5 months I’ve watched literally hundreds of tutorials on every topic included in the whole art quilting process. Today I found yours and I find myself almost giddy with seeing your process. I’ve watched 3 of your videos this morning and I have a crazy busy day! I’ll turn the tv off for now but I plan to come back and watch all of your videos. I’m so excited to have found your channel. I’ll be sure to let you know once I bite the bullet and actually start my own handmade art quilt. Thank you for sharing your process. My name is Renee and you’ll hear from me again I’m sure. Btw, I grew up in New Orleans, near the Gulf and have scuba dived forever so I can appreciate the realism of your work. I’m interested in doing people though but I’ll be trying out your processes. Thank again.

Thank you so much for documenting and sharing your creative process! I'm so inspired to try dying fabric, as you've demonstrated in this excellent video!

[@BrentMcGeeQuilts-ln2zy]

Thanks for watching. You should definitely go for it with the dyeing. Dye-na-flow is available in small sampler packs on Amazon and a little bit goes a long way.

Watching your process is fascinating!

[@BrentMcGeeQuilts-ln2zy]

Thank you!

I loved this. I like Tsukineko fabric inks to shade on fabric and for details. Posco pens are good as is Pitt pigment pens for very fine details. All are made for fabric, light fast and permanent. I have Dyna flo sampler, I haven’t used them yet. But now will give it a go! Thanks

I used Dyna flow to repair a bad fabric choice in a 3d effect quilt. The hand is amazing! The dyed fabric feels the same as the rest. Thank you so much for showing the resist. I would love to try dyna flow on a bigger project. Your video and you art is spectacular! I'm so glad i found your channel!

[@BrentMcGeeQuilts-ln2zy]

Thank you so much. I’m so glad you found my channel too. I’m a dye na flow convert now. So easy to use. The jacquard resist was kind of pricey for that little bottle, but it did the job and I think next time the result will be even better now that I’ve gotten my feet wet. And you should definitely jump in and try a big project with dye na flow, why not?

[@stonecrestquilt]

I can’t draw, but I do have an old projector that works perfectly! I think I might just start with basic organic shapes. And hand quilt that first. And then the next one be a little more complex but not much lol
