Skill Level: All Levels
Description: Starting with your own sharp photo of a pet, flower, or landscape, learn how to make a pattern for your own unique pieced picture quilt. Students will be asked to send me their proposed photo to be two weeks ahead of time for approval and possible editing.
Through discussion of each student’s project, we’ll touch on perspective, level of detail needed to communicate an image, use of straight-line vs curved piecing, what to include in the pattern and what can be added later through fabric selection, or with quilting, embroidery, pens, or paint.
At the end of the day, we will discuss how to use the pattern to make a quilt.
NB: This one-day class is design-only. You will not need a sewing machine, fabric, or sewing supplies. However, if there is specific fabric you are considering for your project and would like the instructor’s advice, please bring it!
