Capture your subject
How do you capture the subject of your quilt effectively? What elements do I include or leave out? What do I want my audience to know or feel about the subject matter? Have these questions? Let's address them. Let's get the most out of our art and portrait quilts. In the lecture we will address these questions and others. The class will be an exercise in producing a portrait or art quilt using techniques I've developed or mastered.
