Description of Presentation
Photo to Fabric: Design in the Palm of Your Hand
I demonstrate, how to take a simple photo with your smart phone or tablet, manipulate it in app and print the image onto fabric on a home printer. I share a variety of art quilts I’ve created with these images as well as several art quilts using multiple photo images tiled together to create a stunning collage quilt effect. I have come up with an easy way to create a repeat printed fabric in 4 steps using a smart phone or tablet. I demonstrate, the process of creating and uploading your own repeat fabric design for commercial printing. Includes detailed handout. There will be lots of art quilts, fabric and clothing items to see.
