Photo Transfers to Fabric

Karen Eckmeier shows you the secret of integrating photos of family into an Accidental Landscape. Beach and lake scenes are the easiest to make because the background layers are simple strips of blue and sand.

I did three large story blocks just as I’ve seen in your videos. I hand sewed them all, including the entire queen size quilt 100% hand sewn. I did photo transfer on all of them, including appliqué forms from other fabric eg Moana. But I didn’t do the quarter inch boundaries which would have made it so much easier as I had to hand sew the diff parts of the appliqué with different colour thread. Of course when I quilted it I had to sew around the appliqué and on the back side I had to quilt through two layers so as not to sew through the appliqué on the front. And stupidly, through my inexperience, I had a theme and photos on the backing as well. Consequently I had to quilt both sides which took me two months to do. And I worked as a nurse. But I ramble. I want to thank you, Karen, for the landscape tutorials. My quilt came out beautiful!
