Have you ever made a portrait quilt? Who did you pick as your subject? Did you work from a photo or from memory? Did you piece it? Thread embellish? Paint?
Here's a wonderful quilt called "Grace" from Jennifer Day in Santa Fe, NM.
"I began this quilt with a photograph of an eighty-three year old woman from Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico. She has been a potter all of her life as was her mother before her. I printed the photograph on fabirc than began the process of covering her face and heads completely in thread. I used sixty-six different colors and approximately one and a half miles of thread in this quilt. The background is free motion quilting."
For more on portrait quilting take a look at how Rob Appell does it in his TQS classroom.
