Art Quilt Design from Photo to Threadwork Video Download

Description

Join award-winning art quilter Sarah Ann Smith to learn her process for creating a fused and free-motion stitched fabric collage. Starting with a photo that has good contrast and lighting, Sarah teaches viewers how to determine values, create a pattern, select and enhance fabrics to suit the subject, collage with fused fabrics, and finally select threads and free-motion quilt to thread-color the piece.

In this Workshop, you will learn how to:

• Select a photo for your composition.
• Choose fabrics, prepare them with fusible web, and alter them with textile paint.
• Create the working pattern.
• Fuse the quilt top.
• Use free-motion machine quilting to bring the fused design to life.

Discover Sarah’s strategies for creating an artful machine-stitched fabric collage!
