  • oh you have beautiful work. God bless you Aisha, please tell me you are still quilting. I taught myself at age 26. had some struggles in life and quit, im 35 , have all my huge collection but have not quilted for about 4 years. i want to go back. something is keeping me from tackling unpacking all my stuff and starting over again. your video is giving me more of a push to do it! i love the color usage. african american quilts .. ours just come out with a uniqueness that is BEAUTIFUL!

  • @indibabs122275 Yes I am still quilting. Each year I seem to explore more, expand my understanding and create new and exciting work. I encourage you to take some of it out of the bags and get started. A little at a time maybe. Be fearless and try some color combinations that are out of the ordinary. Thank you for loving the video. Be on the lookout for some new ones soon.

  • wow you are so talented! I love quilting too. I have only finished 2 so far and I made a Japanese themed art quilt top. I am eager to try tsukeneko inks too. Glad you shared your beautiful work!! Thank you!

  • @nikkilovesdustie Thank you for enjoying the video. It's time for a new one so be on the look out. It is great that you have finished two quilts. Quite an accomplishment
