Painted Pictorial Quilts

Posted on March 11, 2013 | 17 Comments

For the first time, and over a year ago, I signed up for a class at Craftsy.

I thought I would begin the class when I had the time.

Silly me. I am old enough to know that there is never any time, but the now. Right now.

So I have begun, and I am enjoying the class very much. Thank goodness Craftsy classes do not expire! This is turning out to be a very good experience!

The class, Painted Pictorial Quilts, is taught by Annette Kennedy. Annette is a photographer, pattern maker, fiber artist, painter, traveler and teacher.

This is the calla lily sampler that I am learning to paint with. I am using Pebeo Setacolor transparent paints. The background and lily fabrics are my own hand-dyed fabrics. The stem and leaf fabrics are commercial batiks.

This is the sample after I have painted it.

I must say, I am pretty pleased with myself!

I love the craftsy classes and have signed up to 4, it is great because you can return again and again to them and cheaper than books and the shipping to New Zealand. I love what you are doing with the calla lily.

  I am really grateful that Craftsy allows me to go at my pace (which is slower than a snail…but I’m a busy gal)! I’ll be taking more classes for sure!
