NEXT MEETING - Monday, April 12, 2010

Program: Mary Ellen Kranz

Designing Great Quilts Using Your Fabric Photos

"Photo quilts" often use a bulletin board setting – fabric photos set in a regular pattern on the surface of the quilt. But, there are so many other ways to incorporate your own images into your quilted pieces. We’ll start with a quick review of the mechanics of printing from your computer onto fabric. Then, we’ll focus on a variety of ways to include your fabric photo in your quilt design. Mary Ellen’s trunk show provides an inspiring and innovative look into the art of blending photos with fabric.

VISITORS AND NEW MEMBERS WELCOME!
