Thank you for visiting the All About Inklingo blog. 
I am a quilter, teacher, publisher, and inventor of Inklingo, living in Ontario Canada. Monkey is my sidekick. He is a hand piecing snob, but I enjoy hand piecing, machine piecing, and appliqué.
Please visit my web site at http://www.lindafranz.com to start inklingoing today. Don’t miss the free demo video, shape collection, patterns, and great articles under Support.

Hi Linda,
I am a first time visitor and am very impressed with your technique. Oh yeah, Bonnie Hunter send me. LOL She always says for us to tell people that she sent us. I have been following her blog for several months and really enjoy it. I’m new to quilting and just finished my first quilt on Aug. 2nd for my husbands birthday. Thank you for the download, I look forward to exploring them.

Linda,
I came across your site while looking for something new to do a Double Wedding Ring quilt – I have been reading non-stop every since. (needless to say some housework didn’t get done Saturday!). I planned out my first quilt and purchased the fabric this weekend and can’t wait to get at the quilt. Thank you for the extras with my order – I’m totally fascinated with this whole technique and can’t wait to get my quilt done. Cheryl, Lodi WI
Thanks for letting me join you in your quilting fun. I live in Iowa and have been working on Bonnie Hunter’s Easy Street, my first mystery with her, and she suggested browsing your site, so I did, and find I like it!!! I am retired, been quilting for only about 21 years, but sewing for over 60 years. Looking forward to lots of interesting things on your site.
Quilty hugs,

So excited to learn of this from Bonnie Hunter’s blog. Thank you for allowing me to gain experience through you. I have been quilting for 4 years, love all aspects of it, embroidery (Machine), applique, piecing, etc. Looking forward to learning your technique.

Hi Linda,
I am very excited about your site. I just came across it while searching for templates. I really really really would love to make a Jane Austin quilt….just amazing.
Keep up the great work

Hi Linda,
I was thrilled to stumble upon your website while searching the web specifically for info and instructions. My mother hand pieced all the blocks for a flower garden quilt for my daughter during her last few months before suddenly passing away in 1989. I am very inexperienced at quilting, although I sewed for many years. At long last, maybe this will finally give me the courage to set these blocks and complete my daughter’s long-awaited quilt.
Hi Lois,
Thank you very much for writing! I am very pleased that you found Inklingo so you can finish that special flower garden started by your mother. What an amazing quilt it will be. You can do this!
Hugs,
Linda & Monkey

Hi Linda,
I wanted to order QD2, but alas, you are sold out. Many sad faces! Encouraging words on your website say you are considering a reprint. Oh, I do hope you consider this in a most positive light. I do hope, I do hope!! A most valued resource this must be, as the very few available copies have a very, very premium price tag on them.
Linda, I travel all the time. Hand piecing is my only way to make a quilt and you have made this so very doable. Thank you for all your hard work.
Hi! Learned about your site today through my yahoo eq group. Inklingo looks like a great time saver! Jule
Hope the QD2 is reprinted!
hello,
This is unique computer printer supported method to learn about…
I was linked over from Pats Pattering blog…. Pat Hunter, was found via my Dear jane Group and Sylvia’s Bridal Quilt (Jennifer Chiveranini author) SBS_BOW group with Linda…….
Inklingo… I think if it is really wash-out ink …. with my HP ink, I will like it over the other english paper piecing technique. (Which I’mwell on he way with…I’m a retired senior, life long sewer, but new (in the last year) to join the quilting crowd… Honestly I’m doing more complex small block (4 1/2″ and 6 1/2″ multiple pieces) piecing; than, the ending quilting step……. I must remedy that….so much ‘stash’ truly time to sleep under a few quilts. On the couch and the beds. . . . besides the wallspaces to fill…. So doing these loved geometric shaped pieces in running stitches or even by machine…instead of the 100′s of pieces i’ve done of te tumbling blocks EPP, by hand technique …. WOW! you have got me interested …. I do subscribe to TQPM and saw your ad there, too. Now to struggle again with the steps to make a sample and print out the free offer… thanks, the sun finally is here in the north… also time to do garden and yard clean up as well …. need the sun (Vit D). But, hate to have less learning and sewing time…. especially when aching bones say louder than claendar that time is shortening to use up the fabric and yarn stash…. before forced to move to smaller quarters….
