In the first video workshop Linda will explain what makes a good photographic image to work with. She’ll show you how she uses the photograph to draft a pattern for a bonded appliqué technique and how she fussy cuts her fabrics for perfect colour choices. She’ll explain cutting lines, seam allowances and the importance of reversing the image before arranging the components of the design.

In the second video workshop Linda takes her bonded appliqué further by adding border fabrics that complement her subject. Next she uses quilting to add texture and detail, explaining how her source image influences her choice of thread colour and type and the quilting designs she uses to enhance her subject. Finally she demonstrates how she paints a decorative design on the edge of a painted box canvas to display her work. You’ll see everything you need to know to recreate a similar project!
