Would you like to learn how to compose a design? Create and control a focal point? These are just some of the things you'll learn in the Design Your Own Nature Quilt online class.

In fact, you'll gain enough knowledge and skill to make a unique design using your own photo as an inspiration source. It doesn't get much more exciting than that!

This is my favorite class to teach, because the students find they're able to do things they would have never thought possible. This is exhilarating for all of us!

Summer Splendor by Barbara Fyffe, below, is a perfect example of the wonderful things that happen in class. Isn't it fantastic? Great colors, composition, contrast, and drama! But, with a minimum of distracting details.

Now, check out Barbara's inspiration photo. You can definitely see the same ideas at play, but look at the compositional changes she made. They include:
background trees omitted, background buildings omitted, major cropping, and improved arrangement of key items.

(And I haven't even touched on the changes made to color, contrast, and "looseness.") Exciting stuff!

Read a short excerpt from the class material. See other student results in the student gallery.

Part One starts May 30th and class enrollment is very limited. Find full details here.

(I recently sold the class sample for this class, so I'll be working right along with my students to create another one. I'm excited about selecting a photo, choosing fabrics, and getting to work!)
