Thank you everyone! I would love to see your portrait progress if you decide to try this challenge! It really is a fun process. I laughed out loud doing mine.
I started with a 16" x 20" piece of fabric and fused the pieces to that. To get my mug the correct size, I blew the photo up and printed it in two pieces and taped the pieces together.
You could use fabric paints, colored pens, felt, beads, embroidery, etc. to embellish. I plan on attempting some thread painting details with my free motion foot to secure the applique pieces. I think I'll sandwich it first so those stitches will help quilt the piece.
Here are some more ideas from the challenge I joined: http://saycheesebumblebeans.blogspot.com/
