Make a Pet Portrait and How to Create a Collage Background with Jane Haworth | How to Block a Quilt with Alex Anderson

Thank you so much, Jane Haworth, for showing us how to do a pet portrait. I've been stalling on my cat for 2 months now. Nice advice as starting with the eyes, I can now 'talk' to my cat, Betty, and move forward with the rest of her. This has been a major turn-around for me. This is exciting!

Another way to square up a quilt especially if you're working around those dang points. Either by hand or machine, sew a long basting length stitch along the areas that are wonky and ease in (or maybe it's out) the excess fabric, as you would a sleeve inset. I've used this method both before and after binding. Obviously, if it's with the binding otherwise stitch on the toward the outer side of where you would be stitching the binding. Just throwing it out there.

I, also, had issues with customs while traveling internationally. Didn’t realize what the problem was until it was time to renew my TSA documents. Husband was able to go online to do his and I had to go in person. When going through the processing, the lady asked me if I was a quilter. She told me that I had no fingerprints so that was the reason an in-person renewal was required.

Loved this show and want to try some of the pet collages. Hoping to get into her class in Houston.
