LECTURES
How To Sew Art!
This lecture will tell how “Quilted Photography” was developed. I will share with the group how I remain creative. I will show my first quilts and the newest quilts to explain the evolution of “Quilted Photography” from the beginning till now. This lecture is funny, entertaining, informative and inspiring!
WORKSHOPS
Easy & Amazing Quilted Photography
In my class you will transform ordinary fabric strips in to unbelievably beautiful photographic quilts! You will choose your own photo to quilt. The quilts look intricate and difficult to make, but it’s easy, even if you are just beginning to quilt. Each quilted photo takes only a few hours to make and you’ll learn the simple sewing techniques that will reduce your sewing time by 85%. Your friends will gasp in amazement when they realize your quilt is really a photograph! This class is based on my second book “More Amazing Quilted Photography”. As seen on HGTV’s “Simply Quilts” (episode #819), Friends of Kaye on PBS, Sewing With Nancy.
Amazingly Contoured Quilted Photography
In this class you will learn how to make an amazing photo quilt with my free form technique. This technique is what I used to get into the Smithsonian Craft Show and also to win the Japan award for Quilt National. This class is based on my fourth book “How To Sew Art”.
