Aniko Feher teaches portraits in Ann Arbor. Googling should find her.

Cindy,

The June issue of "Quilting Arts" Magazine is an Art Quilt protrait issue. They have several articles regarding this type of quilt.
On page 54 they have an article called "Simple Protrait quilts" that uses black&white, along with a digitized photo of your subject. This may be what you are looking for.

Good Luck & Happy Quilitng.
Susan

I, too, was frightened by the thought of printing on faric. I bought 2 sets of the fabric on paper & put it away.
Then last week I needed a calligrapher to write on the almost beige that made up the sashing.
Well, there wasn't a single one in the house/neighborhood/or town. So I found a font & typed up the captions & ran the program & viola! - I had labels. I had to iron wonder-under light to the back.
A piece of cake!
Enjoy!

As for posts....I read lots and answer to quite a few but only if I can help...quite often I just don't know the answer ...but I know that people on the board will help whenever they can
Thanks so much for this link! I just watched it for my mental FYI file!

A while back somebody on this board posted a link to the Victoria and Albert Museum. You upload your photo, answer a few simple questions and the program gives you a picture that is somewhat like cross stitch patterns but for quilts. A black and white photo would be especially good because it gets bogged down if there are to many colors.

Have you scanned anything before and had it come out? If you haven't scanned anything before, do you have the printer/scanner installed on the computer? If the software has been installed, I don't understand why it's not recognized. How about calling the place where you got the scanner and explain to them what's going on. Or, there may be a "help" line for your purchase. Hope you can get it straightened out.
