Here you will see some of the pet quilts I have been working on. I will also include some of my student work. Click on the photos to move them along and see more examples
I offer a 1 day class using my patterns of cats and dogs that I bring to class. No sewing machines are needed as students will only be working on the fabric collage. In a 2 day class students will bring in an enlarged photo of their pet, create the pattern and work on the collage. In a 3 day workshop free-motion quilting the collage quilt will be included.
To create my raw edge fabric collage I use a simple tracing and cutting technique that does not use pattern pieces, fusible products on the fabric but just good sharp scissors and fabric glue (I use Allennes Tacky glue) and a glue applicator.

A few of my Pet Portraits. Many are made as gifts or custom work using photos that are emailed to me. I do also teach a class in-person making these quilts or as an online on demand workshop called Love of Pets.
The Pet Portrait workshop I teach is a better workshop done over a number of days, 2-3 day is perfect.
