Quilting Images
A beautiful new way to combine photography, printing and quiltmaking
Anita Heady - The title of the quilt is "I Pray for Peace". The photo is one from my son's camera; he set it up and had his buddy snap the photo. Every piece of fabric, except the borders and printed fabrics, has been altered with ProFab paint to match the photo.Doris WoodwardMartha Steele - Here is a picture of my finished poster quilt of Orvieto. I had a lot of fun making it. I hope you can see the skyline of Orvieto I stitiched at the top and some valley images at the bottom.Linda HazeldenLinda HazeldenPeggy MitchellRenate Soltman - "Braces"Pat SeitasAnne Albano The Gates is a site-specific art installation by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The artists installed 7,503 metal "gates" along 23 miles (37 km) of pathways in Central Park in New York City. From each gate hung a flag-shaped piece of saffron-colored nylon fabric. Anne Albano - Label My college roommates/buddies met one cold February day in NYC to reacquaint ourselves and to see The Gates. Since we are children of the ‘60’s, and this exhibit was a kind of “happening,” I decided to fashion a quilt memento of the day and try out Blending Photos with Fabric.Lynn & Marian Sykes We had great fun in the classes and learned so much. I have attached a picture of the finished quilt. What we did was take the pictures we took in the park and focusing on one particular item, enhanced that and made the fabric that made up each block. Mary Cannizzaro - museums, The Hammond Museum in North Salem solicited our guild for quilts appropriate for an exhibition entitled "Zen Stitches". My quilt fit the profile exactly. I was thrilled and excited when I arrived at the exhibit opening and my quilt was front and center! Karen RichardsSue LathropChris Allpenzeller - "I enjoyed trying different kinds of thread and stitching in my quilting. It was also fun blending the borders and binding with the colors of the design." Darlene Yetter - I have attached a photo of the quilt I made for my Brother. I named it: "Old Friends" The pictures are of his Antique and Classic Cars and Tractors, some of which he lost in the 2003 San Diego Fires along with his home.Phyllis Tarrant .... a journal quilt. I try to make one every month and when there are enough I put them together in a book. For this one, I used what we printed in class and 2 others that I printed at home. It is just called “NC Quilt Symposium 2007”.Peggy Barkel - Summer DazePeggy Barkle - Summer Daze DetailJoanne NunnJoanne Nunn - Quilt DetailJulie Jacobs-HigdonJulie Jacobs-Higdon - Quilt detailDianna Ramsey - PietaDianna Ramsey - Pieta Quilt detailSigrid Kenny - Marin's Class QuiltSigrid Kenny - Marin's Class Quilt detail showing Marin, her friend and her teacherSigrid Kenny - Zoe Singing' in the RainKratttsSara Woodward - Ireland QuiltPatti Brown - Chacuma QuiltDot Forsythe - Australia Trip Memory Winniw Woodbury
