Imagery on Fabrics Class


It's off to Springerville, AZ, to teach Imagery on Fabrics, which is the class that garners the most attention. Springerville is near the New Mexico border and is about a 4-hour drive from Phoenix. I'm providing a Power Point presentation and have brought printers so that my students can put their own photos onto fabric sheets. I prefer Printed Treasures or Electric Quilt fabric sheets and highly recommend either of these two brands. One advantage of the EQ sheets is that there is a 13" by 22" fabric sheets so that your images can be larger. I do teach the posterizing, which is another way to enlarge your images on fabric. This technique uses "tiles" or multiple pages for your image. It can be very effective for art quilts.
