Here's something to make your photo to quilt enlargement easier.

The transparent grids come in these sizes:

     
          20x25"                  25x35"                30x40"

The grids are printed on transparent plastic.  You print your own photo on paper and put behind the grid of your choice.

Remember it's important to use only photos which you have copyright permission to use.

(You don't want to get into trouble.) 

You will still need the book to know my methods, but these will help you to get your photomap ready.

The set of three is $14. plus shipping. 

Here are a couple of books you might enjoy taking a look at....

Quilted Devotions by Lisa Cogar

This pretty new book has 24 Biblical Blocks featured as well as examples of setting them into quilts.  Some of the blocks are traditional, and some brand new designs.  I was really drawn to several of the blocks.  It’s inspiring to see how well she has adapted her art to highlight her faith.  Instructions are clear and easy to follow.  You could make a large quilt or a small wall hanging.

It’s a Wrap II  by Susan Breier

New baskets, purses, lids and handles.  So inspiring!  Using clothesline and fabric strips Susan teaches you to make beautiful projects of many varying designs.  Looks like fun to me!

They are both available at www.martingale-pub.com

These are some happy students from a class for quilting the painted Hibiscus...5 of the students came back to quilt their painting.  Here they are before the quilting process.  Aren't their paintings pretty?

This paint process is taught in my new book: "Painted Picture Quilts"

It is also taught in my former book "Fabric+Paint+Thread=Fabulous"

It always amazes me that everyone's artistry comes out in a little different way...even when we all start with the same raw materials

Amazing....fun!  Good job girls.
