Quilting Your Favorite Photos

What do quilting and photography have in common? Both are time-honored ways of preserving cherished memories--and they both come together in a very special one-of-a-kind volume. Written by popular quilt designer Wendy Butler Berns, it shows how to incorporate your most precious pictures, from beloved snapshots of ancestors to children's artwork, into a unique quilt. Anyone, from beginners to confident, experienced quilters can master the creative techniques, which include creating a line-drawn template from the enlarged original image, breaking down the dark and light tones, choosing the fabrics for each piece of the design, then reassembling and appliqueing the image onto a backing. The 25 quilts are all perfect for hangings, and each is shown with the photo that inspired it.Butler Berns, Wendy is the author of 'Quilting Your Favorite Photos ', published 2008 under ISBN 9781600591891 and ISBN 1600591892.
