Full Description

Turn your favorite photos into fabric art pieces

Fiber artist Vicki Conley has been making art quilts since 2007 and is known for her National Park Art Quilts, inspired by the beautiful sights of her travels. By showing you how she made Glacier Bay, Vicki demonstrates the process of simplifying and combining photos into a workable design. As the course name implies, you'll learn how easy it is to take your own photographs and make paper piecing patterns for countless projects.

In the first part, Vicki shows you how to select specific photographic elements for your quilt design, whether you work with one photo or a collection. She walks you through enlarging and printing your pattern and teaches you how to cut and piece the quilt stabilizer. Next, you'll learn everything you need to know to put it together — walk through turned edge machine piecing, sewing the pieces, lettering techniques, and more valuable skills you can transfer to any quilt project.

Simplify and combine images into a workable quilt design
Use Floriani Stitch and wash stabilizer as the base for the project
