In your regular Saturday post this week, I’ll be talking about how to give and receive feedback for fabric collage. I take examples from my Patreon Facebook page, where quilters post images of their in-progress quilts to the private page in order to receive helpful comments from me and from other users. Two quilters I include are Faith McLeod (above) and Judy Crotts (below). Faith started the quilt of her friend and friend’s cow at the Quilt Gallery in Kalispell, MT and Judy started the quilt of the white dog and cat at Empty Spools in Pacific Grove, CA, so I have included those On the Road posts below for your Throwback Thursday. Look for Faith and Judy within those posts and remember their collages. You’ll be seeing them again on Saturday!

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.

I love seeing the photos of how projects develop. At some future point, would you please consider writing a blog on choosing fabric for human faces? Sometimes a face collage is clearly a neutral or green. How do you decide? Thank you
In her work it’s based on value not on color. See her “Kissing Cousins” blog.
