Instructions

No - just wanted to show what you can learn on Annette's wonderful lesson on Painted Pictorial Quilts. I learned a lot and it has opened up a whole new world of quilting for me.

Difficulty:

Category: Other

Type of item: Home Decor

For: Home

Style: Traditional, Outdoorsy, Casual


Materials

cotton fabric, cotton thread, clear thread, wonder under, transparent paints and instruction from Annette Kennedy's Painted Pictorial Quilts.

What was your inspiration?

My inspiration was a picture that was taken of my three grandchildren, walking back to their cottage after a dip in Lake Ossipee. The colors and highlights of the picture caught my eye, and then when I took the Painted Pictorial Quilt lessons from Annette Kennedy, I knew I wanted to try what I had learned, using the photo.

What are you most proud of?

I am proud that the quilt actually came out looking JUST like the picture - you can identify the children and I think I painted it pretty good for my first painted pictorial quilt

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Pick a subject you love, and practice painting on scraps of cloth identical to what you will be using.

Thank you Mew - I wouldn't mind helping to teach on how to do this kind of thing, but we are probably hundreds of miles apart - Massachuetts

hi spidermom - if you are a Mom, perhaps you would like to try to make a quilt with your own children - Annette's class is a real help to do it.
