Stitched Mosaics - Turn a Photo Into a Quilt

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 into fabric. Favorite pets, cute kids, and garden flowers are all popular subjects. Toni Raynolds will help you break down the construction process into bite-size manageable steps so that participants 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 applique’. Color, value, and fabric pattern choices are all important parts of the process and will be a key focus of the workshop. While this prepared edge applique’ technique is best for intermediate quilters, one does not have to have an art background to make a successful portrait quilt! Bring a large color print (approx. 18 X 24 of the photo)
