FROM PHOTO TO QUILT
PICTURE PERFECT QUILTS
In 2008, Rochelle had the honor of being
Nancy Zieman’s guest on Sewing with Nancy
during a two-part series
entitled Picture Perfect Quilts.
Nancy and Rochelle detailed the process of creating a photo quilt.
The key elements of turning a photo into an art quilt are enlarging and tiling the photo and printing on 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheets of fabric which are fused to heavy duty freezer paper. Most home printers include software for tiling.
If you make a wall hanging using these techniques, Rochelle would love to see it. Email a photo to: info@rochellestibb.com. Let her know if you would like to have the photo posted on this website. Please provide a little description and the finished size. Thanks — Looking forward to seeing your projects.
A LITTLE INK, FABRIC, AND THREAD
The Construction Process

- Print photo unto 8.5″ x 11″ treated fabric which is fused to heavy duty freezer paper using your inject printer. Remove freezer paper backing and rinse fabric.
- With right sides together, using .25″ seam allowance stitch the fabric pieces together forming rows. Press seam allowances open.
- With right sides together, using .25″ seam allowance stitch the rows together forming the quilt top. Press seam allowances open.
