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.

One of the best I've seen for art quilting or Pictorial quilting. Example wise or pattern wize. Raylene Wolff

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.
