Back Cover Information

Develop appliqué patterns from photos with ease. It's like transforming your sewing room into a darkroom!

  • Realistic-looking images can be made in fabric through this revolutionary portraiture technique. Recreate family portraits, pet photos, and much more in quilt projects suitable for wall hangings, tote bags, jackets, and pillows.
  • Even quilters with no previous art training can have success creating fabric photo images. Julia shows how shadows in a photograph relate to the range of values in light and dark fabrics. Her gallery of quilts will inspire you!
  • Step-by-step photos walk you through the entire process from tracing values to selecting fabrics to putting the pieces together. There's also a selection on using photo-editing software to create a pattern.
