Product Description
What do quilting and photography have in common? Both are time-honored ways of preserving cherished memories?and they both come together in a very special one-of-a-kind volume. Written by popular quilt designer Wendy Butler Berns, it shows how to incorporate your most precious pictures, from beloved snapshots of ancestors to children?s artwork, into a unique quilt. Anyone, from beginners to confident, experienced quilters can master the creative techniques, which include creating a line-drawn template from the enlarged original image, breaking down the dark and light tones, choosing the fabrics for each piece of the design, then reassembling and appliqueing the image onto a backing. The 25 quilts are all perfect for hangings, and each is shown with the photo that inspired it.

If you interested in creating quilts from photos, this is a wonderful book. The first part of the book is all about the construction of the quilts. The second part is a gallery of photos and the quilts which were created. There are a lot of tidbits that I found very interesting in this second part. I like knowing about the decision-making process in choosing fabrics,etc. All in all, an excellent book.
