Sprinkled throughout my blog posts are the fabric collage How-To posts. Gluing is covered here, cutting and finishing there. The whole process is pretty much explained if you look close enough.
If you want a quick overview, however, you could just read the post below. Explaining the entire fabric collage process wasn’t what I had in mind when I wrote the post. The Quilt Story of “Kissin’ Cousins” was simply a chance to explain the origin and the making of the quilt. Although I do use “Kissin’ Cousins” as an example quilt in the Fabric Collage Master Class Manual, so maybe that’s what inspired me to structure the post as an outline of the process.
The quilt features my son Sam and his cousin Maia and was created as a gift for my parents. This Saturday in your regular post, you’ll meet Maia again in a new quilt, “Monarch Maia,” which was created as a gift for her mother, my sister Heidi.
Like “Kissin’ Cousins,” I will include “Monarch Maia” in the Master Class Manual. I (actually Tom) has created a series of videos to upgrade the Master Class Manual covering the basics of how this portrait was created. This type of update will happen (for free) for owners of the Manual on an as needed basis.
Fabric Collage Master Class
For instructions on the entire fabric collage process, you can purchase the Susan Carlson Fabric Collage Online Master Class Manual. Using video, photos, and text I take you from soup to nuts, beginning to end in creating your own fabric collage masterpiece.
Has the portraiture section already been added or is this up date coming sometime soon?
Coming up this Saturday!
