Today we are going through my "process" for creating a pattern for an art quilt from a photograph. We will be using a photo I took of my Nana's irises.

Will you do a followup on where you go from here to make a quilt

[marianaarrington]

Thank you Lisa for this video! I am ready to get into digital applique!! I so appreciate your instructions!

[cynrest]

Forgot to say… LOVE the visit in your kitchen, the peanuts, etc. I didn’t know they could be canned! Cool. Thanks.

[sharonharrison]

I am so proud of you and the process you have made getting the pantry ready for tough times.

[ritabureman]

Thank you so much. I can it confidently now. Learned a lot.

[Wanda]

oh, Lisa that looks so fun. I am going to try it with my covered bridge. I will watch this several times first before I start then I will try it, and I will post in creative crew group. thank you so very much for showing us how to do this. I am really excited to give it a try.

This is so neat! Very eye catching, I love it!!!

[flutterbear]

This is great. Thanks. Several months ago i was wanting to make an art quilt of my church but could not figure out how to go about it. Thanks again

[Aljobritt]

As always I learn something new when I watch your videos! I have never heard of boiled peanuts! nor did I know anyone canned them. I have lived in So. California my whole life maybe that is how I missed knowing about them.😊

[photographybyday]

Thanks Lisa for the demonstration. Will have to give it a go

[quilter]

Very helpful. I've always trace with tracing paper and then take that to copy store and have them blow it up as large as I want. I'll try this next time

Hello Lisa, sorry I missed the live. But i was sick, I'm still sick but well enough to watch the replay. I really don't understand a lot of this computer stuff. I'm a grandma dinosaur when it comes to computer technology. But I am so thinking this is so neat. I love this picture I agree with you, I think this picture would be beautiful in a quilt. I would want one twin size so I would have plenty to cuddle up under. I'm going to be watching the whole process. Even though I don't understand a lot of it. But it's very interesting Thank you for this video.

I've only seen 10 mins on replay, but am planning to watch all the rest. Soon. Couldn't take time today. We had to rest ystdy after the hurricane blew through (Milton). Just 2 wks after hurricane Helene came through, ugh, ugh.
On a brighter note, I brightened up when you spoke of boiled p'nuts, Lisa. We both luv them. I grew up with them, he didn't. But we think he was displaced, growing up in the very cold NORTH, lolol He's loved FL for over 30 yrs. Neither of us likes cold weather (I also survived several yrs in a very cold climate some yrs ago). I've never canned boiled p'nuts, but our daughter had 5# of beautiful p'nuts sent to me on my bday, & we boiled most of them for eating, and used a few for p'nut brittle (gift for our mail lady...it's so sweet, but yummy).
Thx, Lisa, for taking the time to teach us this process. Hope it's not so far over my non-techy head that I am able to glean SOMETHING from it!! Love & prayers, C.

Very interesting. Thank you for presenting this. I’m not familiar with all the software you mentioned but am going to d/l and play around with it. Thank you. BTW, the next time a saved file is MIA just type the saved name into the small search box at upper right of your active screen. Can’t remember complete file name…. Just enter the part you remember and it most likely will still come up. (I’m an ol retired IT Mgr from the DOS Dinosaur days. lol )

When I was a little girl my papa grew peanuts, goobers he called them. I'm not a fan of boiled peanuts, but I love them fresh roasted.

[ninettebeheler]

Would you then use the light box to trace from paper to batting?

[Kathleen]

I don’t believe I’ve ever had boiled peanuts.
