She will not only provide her assistance in enhancing, modifying or finishing your project but will also provide additional paints, embellishments, etc. to help make this project really special.

An entertaining digital PowerPoint presentation showing the process of making pictorial quilts using Cynthia’s “Picture-piecing” technique. Enlarging the design, fabric selection, and organizational methods are discussed in detail. A question and answer session to follow.
Picture Piecing is a unique technique that Cynthia developed to achieve detailed quilt imagery. Many quilters assume it is just another name for paper piecing or foundation piecing, but Cynthia’s approach is much more!
While similar to these techniques in that it uses paper and straight seams, Picture Piecing has several differences, allowing quilters to achieve detailed imagery more efficiently, with less frustration and fabric waste.
Cynthia’s most popular class… choose from two small landscapes kits. Both are 19″ X 17″. No tracing involved; templates are preprinted onto freezer paper. Fabric selection, organizational skills and construction methods will be addressed in class. Sewing machines and irons required.

Tonya Littmann has been a member of the Denton Quilt Guild since 1988 and on the board since 1996. She is an artist and graphic designer living in Denton with her husband Jon and a lively Golden Retriever named Abby. Her art quilts reflect her love of design, fiber art, and sewing. When she was a little girl, she loved to paint and make doll clothes and knew art would be her career. As an adult her art interests moved from ceramics and watercolor to creating with fabric. Tonya’s award-winning art quilts represent her interest in experimenting with dye, ink, paint, and stitching on fabric.
Tonya will present a trunk show and slide show with examples of the methods she uses to create her pictorial quilts.
