I am enjoying working on portrait quilts again.
Captain America
This one is ready to go under the needle...
I really like the back side of Captain America too!
I work with the photo image closely as I quilt into the portrait.
At this point the starry background and the hair are quilted...
I am rounding up a few more portraits to take along with me to class next week:
Turkey Boy.......Front Side
Turkey Boy.....Back Side
Old School......Front Side
Old School.....Back Side
Wild Horses.......Front Side
Wild Horses......Back Side
This looks wild doesn't it?
This is a recycled fabric. I flipped the misprint over and printed the horses on the other side of the misprint.....it worked. It made for a interesting back side.
Today I am working with student images in Photoshop to alter them and get them printed onto fabric. Class is next Saturday.....I better get with it!

Love your portrait quilts what size do you print them on fabric and where do you do that. Thanks I have done portrait quilts using bits of fabric. Thanks
ReplyDeleteHi Bunny,
ReplyDeleteI use a wide path printer. I wrote about it on my blog: http://luannkessi.blogspot.com/2010/12/new-printer-neocolor-ii-portraits.html
I use 100% white cotton sateen and iron it to freezer paper to stabilize it for printing.
My Best To You,
LuAnn in Oregon
