In this one-hour video workshop, you will learn some of the basic elements of design, and become acquainted with some of the many easy tools and techniques available to us all to help design and produce original art quilts with images you choose.

"As quilters, we have a wonderful medium in which to explore our artistic potentials and the tools of our time allow us to produce exciting, original images in our quilts we may never have believed possible, regardless of our known drawing abilities (or "lack" of them)." Lura Schwarz Smith

This is the second video by the very talented and award winning Lura Schwarz Smith. The first, Faces in Fabric, extensively reviews Lura's methods of painting portraits, which are then incorporated into the art quilt using the methods shown here.
