Have you ever seen a picture you thought would make an amazing quilted wall hanging? This workshop will introduce techniques to transform a photograph or illustration of your choice into a pattern to create a wall hanging. The realistic results are completed using a fusible applique method. You don't need drawing skills; this class will make it easy for you to transfer an image into a work of art.
