Your quilt will be wonderful and I love, love your corgi! Have never had one but some day if I ever have another dog I sure would love to have a corgi!

Nice work! I trace images in EQ to get the templates, or be lazier and print photos on fabric. This is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice! I agree with the other ladies that posted you should do a tutorial on this technique. I too would love to do one as a tribute to my Boxer. Thank you for sharing!

For now, I don't feel like I can do this, as I would feel like I am taking from the quilt artist who taught the workshop.

I'll do some research on various ways that quilt portraits are created to try to figure out how much of Aniko's method is hers alone.

What I can tell you is that we did not use computers or sewing machines in class yesterday (the sewing will come later). The pattern was created using an enlarged photo, transparencies, an ultrafine sharpie, pencils, fabric and fusible.

The current status of the project is a fusible applique. I'll be adding thread painting and the background over the next few weeks.

I think one of the keys to a successful quilt from a picture is the quality of the starting picture.

I do go into a little more detail on my blog. And I will say, that my basic drawing skills stink, but I am pretty darn good at tracing...

Cheers, K

A title at both ends too! Nice job!!

Yup. Got a few Champion Lapdogs at home myself. They get to come out and play once a year at the Nationals in Veterans class.
