My newest online course for iquilt has just gone live!! Paint & Stitch: Vibrant Acrylic Quilts. This is a fun class that produces stunning results even if you’ve never worked with acrylic paints.

In June, my favorite video yet became available as well. Watercolor to Quilt is the title and I show how to create water color paintings then crop to find a great composition then make that into a quilt! It really turned out great and it shows how I make my pattern and use the templates to choose fabrics and turn the edges, How I stitch it all down and how I quilt. lots of information. I hope you give it a try and enjoy it.

Total there are now four videos available!

Last February I filmed two other episodes for iquilt.com. We had a great time filming and my videos are out !! I am so excited. Color Theory for quilters is playing now. Artful Log Cabins is airing now as well. The color lesson is all about the way that I interpret the color wheel into fabric for quilters and how to use the color wheel to add dimension and excitement to your quilts. I hope you will take a look at the trailer posted here on YouTube Color Theory and Artful Log Cabins and then go to iquilt.com and register and see all of the wonderful videos that they have out now! And check back every now and then as they are making new videos all of the time.

Paint & Stitch: Vibrant Acrylic Quilts – This is a fun class that produces stunning results even if you’ve never worked with acrylic paints. Combine painting with acrylics and easy quilting with Katie Pasquini Masopust. With her expert guidance, choose a color scheme and make three different paintings by layering paints and fabrics. Then, use Katie’s method to cut the canvases apart and sew them together to create a complex composition. Her technique lends itself well to geometric designs, still lifes, and landscapes. Next, layer your project with batting and backing, and quilt it as you prefer. Katie demonstrates how the final piece may be stretched onto a frame and hung. If you prefer to use the stitched canvas in other ways, she also gives instructions on how to cover books or calendars for personalized gift giving and even how to make her six-minute zippered bag!
