Susan Brubaker Knapp

Learn the basics of creating wholecloth painted quilts based on photos. Students can choose from the two projects shown (sheep and chicken), and will work from line drawings and my photos to recreate the image using acrylic textile paints. Afraid to try this technique? Don’t be! My students get great results. We will cover selecting the right photos for great results; which paints and fabrics to use and why; how to transfer your design to fabric; painting and blending techniques; and quilting considerations. This class is a great way to learn the basics so you can work from your own photos the next time. I'll bring a lot of samples of my wholecloth painted work, and answer your questions about them. NOTE: No sewing machine work. You'll go home with a painted piece ready to quilt.
