Both are time-honored ways of preserving cherished memories—and they both come together in a very special one-of-a-kind volume. Written by popular quilt designer Wendy Butler Berns, it shows how to incorporate your most precious pictures, from beloved snapshots of ancestors to children’s artwork, into a unique quilt. Anyone, from beginners to confident, experienced quilters can master the creative techniques, which include creating a line-drawn template from the enlarged original image, breaking down the dark and light tones, choosing the fabrics for each piece of the design, then reassembling and appliquéing the image onto a backing. The 25 quilts are all perfect for hangings, and each is shown with the photo that inspired it.
An innovative quilt designer explains how to incorporate one's personal photographs or artwork into a unique quilt, offering step-by-step instruction in the creative techniques used, along with helpful suggestions on selecting the fabrics for each piece of the design, tips on assembling and appliquéing the image onto a backing, and twenty-five beautiful project designs.
