Ricky opens the show with a very clever method of adding piping to a seam, which works on both straight seams and curves! Piping looks great, adding interest and a tiny shot of color to a project. Lola Jenkins then shares her new interest in collage portrait quilts. She starts with a photo, looking for intriguing facial expressions and gestures. After a demo on how to use photo editing software, Lola shares her insights on choosing the right fabric, including some unusual color choices. Once ready to start quilting, we learn there is no prior planning. She talks about finding the best way to manipulate a large quilt under a domestic sewing machine. Lola has also devised some cunning finishing techniques that don’t require a lot of stitching. Check out her ideas for binding with ribbons, buttons and canvas backing.
Show 1809: Portrait Collages and Binding Concepts premiers April 24, 2016.
