I used to wonder how collage artists turned a photo into a beautiful fabric piece of art. After lots of research and practice I have developed a system that works with minimal supplies and expense. I have created a written “do it yourself” digital tutorial with simple instructions and lots of photos showing each step. There are step-by-step instructions on how to create a paper pattern from your digital photo and then how to use the pattern to make your collage. Beginner to intermediate skills required. Basic computer knowledge needed. Some of my finished projects using this method with the photo inspirations are shown. Make a fabric collage for yourself or as a gift using this technique. I am available to answer any questions you may have. Join the growing group of fabric collage artists! Collage quilting is a practice and you will improve with each project. You are purchasing a written 15 page digital pdf tutorial complete with photos. You will need a computer, printer/scanner and a light box to use this method. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. Thanks for looking! Note: This is a digital download and will be immediately available after payment. You will not receive anything in the mail. You can download it from the "Purchases and Reviews" section of your Etsy account. Look for "Download Files" option. You should also receive an email with instructions (check your spam files.)

I had both of my Grandson's for the weekend. After they left today I went back to the studio to keep working on my pine needles. I fused the larger part of the each branch, quilt it, outline it and then stitch in the smaller branches in a variegated thread. When I have all the branches in I begin adding the needles with thread. It is a tedious process but the results are worth it. I keep my sketch of the short needle pine close by so I remember the layout of its branches. It is below zero today and colder weather is coming tomorrow. Good weather to stay put in the studio that is for sure!
Going to sleep under your average, run-of-the-mill, storebought duvet feels nothing like snuggling under an artistic quilt that you or your loved one made for you. With affection. With care in every stitch. With countless hours of skill and dedication.
