Learn how to make a portrait quilt by focusing on one square at a time. This workshop is for quilters who wish to recreate a favorite photo in fabric. Favorite pets, cute kids, and garden flowers are all popular subjects, but the technique is not limited to those. Timna will break down the construction process into bite-size, manageable steps so that students will come out of the workshop with the knowledge of how to approach and complete pictorial quilts. Participants will learn how to prepare a photo, make templates, choose fabrics, and the basics of machine appliqué. Color, value, and pattern are important parts of the process and will be a key focus of the workshop. While this prepared-edge appliqué technique is best for intermediate quilters, one does not need to have an art background to make a successful portrait quilt! Bring a large color print (approx. 18” x 24” or 24” x 36”) of the photo you wish to use, lots of scraps of fabric, and a willingness to experiment and learn from each other. (Additional supplies may be purchased from Timna for an additional fee, if needed.)
