Full Description

Meet Roxane Lessa, aka the Art Quilter's Coach, a color-savvy instructor known for helping quilters transform fabric into stunning, dimensional art. In this beginner-friendly course, Roxane shares her playful yet powerful approach to fused appliqué and fabric painting techniques. With her expert guidance, you'll learn how to make realistic still-life quilts that truly pop.

In Just Peachy, you’ll create a small art quilt featuring a bowl of peaches using a pattern provided by Roxane. You'll trace, fuse, and appliqué your design, then bring it to life with shadows, highlights, and blended color using Inktense pencils and fabric paints. Roxane walks you through every step, including how to mix colors with aloe vera, which brushes to use, and how to heat-set your masterpiece. You'll also pick up tips for fabric prep, painting guidelines, and optional framing and quilting techniques to finish it off beautifully. As a bonus, you’ll get Roxane's personal supply recommendations, downloadable patterns, and her top fusible tricks. This juicy little project packs a punch of skill you can apply to future art quilts with confidence.
