Members of the Canadian Quilters’ Association<\/a> should have received their Winter issue of The Canadian Quilter magazine.\u00a0 I knew that my article about how I create portrait quilts – and why I like to experiment with self-portraits – would be included in the magazine, but I was thrilled to see my self-portrait on the cover!<\/p>\n

\"CdnQuilterWinter_cover\"<\/a>\u00a0 \"CdnQuilterWinter_article\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can learn more about my process here<\/a>, and see many of my portrait quilts here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While I was writing the article,\u00a0 I came across an extremely minimalist image I had created in 2011 when I was first experimenting with the posterize effect.\u00a0 It’s from the same photo I used for my self-portraits in the magazine article.\u00a0 Then I saw the Quilting Arts magazine announcement of a reader challenge to make a 10 x 10 inch portrait art quilt, and decided it was time to turn that image into a self-portrait.<\/p>\n

Here’s how I made it.\u00a0 I traced the eyes and nostril onto stabilizer and added the suggestion of a nose.\u00a0\u00a0 I cut the eyes and nostril from purple fabric, and fused them to a yellow background, using the stabilizer drawing to position them.<\/p>\n

\"Photo-posterized2levels\"<\/a> \u00a0 \"positioning<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I pinned the stabilizer to the back of the fabric, and stitched the eyes and nose from the back.\u00a0 Then I added batting and backing and stitched again through all the layers.\u00a0 I titled it ‘Minimalist Me’.\u00a0 It was accepted as a finalist, so I hope to see it in the February\/March 2016 issue of Quilting Arts magazine.<\/p>\n
