Painted Pictorial Quilts from Craftsy

I finished painting the second project for the class called Painted Pictorial Quilts.  This class is taught on Craftsy by Annette Kennedy.  The first project was a painted iris.  The second one is a mountain scene.  This is Annette's pattern with my fabrics and painting according to her directions.

Here is the fabric before paint.




Here it is after the paint has been added.


I really enjoyed this class.  In between the two projects she talks about color and depth and dimension.  I still have two of the fifteen lessons left.  I think they are about how to finish your painting.  I can't wait to make a pattern from one of my own photos and turn it into a painted quilt.

Craftsy Classes

I finished my March blocks for the biggest Block of the Month Club ever.  I am using a fat quarter pack I bought from Craftsy.com.  It is a Kaffe Fassett assortment in neutral colors.  I bought a second pack last month from Fabric.com, but now I'm wondering if I might need a third.  I'm still using the first pack but this is only month 3.


Here are this months blocks
String Block Pattern
Broken Spider Web Block Pattern

When I joined the Block of the Month Class I received a discount for a second class.  I signed up for Painted Pictorial Quilts taught by Annette Kennedy.  I started the class this past week.  There are two projects in the class and so far I have done one. The pattern was drawn by Annette Kennedy.

Not too bad for a first try.  It looks better up close.


A fun class, not the best quality video but I learned a lot so far and I'm excited to try my own patterns.
Have a creative day.
