Realistic Fabric Portraits -September 9, 2016
Realistic Fabric Portraits
How many times have you heard an admirer of an art quilt (perhaps yourself) say, “That is so beautiful, I wish I could do that”, or exclaim, “Oh, I can never do that, I can’t even draw a straight line.” Geared mainly for those quilters who cannot draw, Marilyn will guide you step-by-step through the techniques that enable you to produce realistic fabric portraits of loved ones. In this class, you will learn how to use the computer to adjust photos, appliqué by fusion, deal with the features on a face and use thread painting for the finishing touches. Good basic sewing skills are necessary.

Thank you ,. Barb
Thank you for your interest. I am not holding the Portrait class until 2018. I do not yet know the schedule for the upcoming year. Perhaps Ruth Blanchet (the dean of The Academy of Quilting) has a schedule ready to release. She can be reached at: dean@academyofquilting.com
Hope to find you in a future class.
Best,
Marilyn
