Turn your own photo into a quilt!

margaret | August 14, 2011

I turned this photograph

into this quilt

and you can do it too!

I’ll teach you how to use your computer to create your own
custom patterns for portrait and pictorial quilts.

Actually, there is much more to the class than just learning
how to make the patterns.

You will learn techniques on using specific tools, menus,
resolution, photo adjustment, cloning, histograms, cropping,
layers, separating values, and more!

Plus, how to complete the quilt.

It is a 4 week online class beginning Sept. 10, 2011.
You will use your own photographs to make the patterns!

The class has step-by-step videos you can watch,
pause and work along, and watch some more.

Video instruction is for three different software packages
(and one of the software applications is free). Can’t beat that!

And…no drawing required!
