She is mostly self-taught using photographs as you have. However, she has taken many classes and can recommend some teachers.<br />I love your quilt and love to see the dog included in the Friendship theme. Our pets can indeed be our closest friends sometimes.<br />Jane Hartfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214548826723915490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-5399815267985132152014-07-15T11:49:58.154-04:002014-07-15T11:49:58.154-04:00Too, MMs Kathy and Rita have all thread painted pe...Too, MMs Kathy and Rita have all thread painted people and Kathy did that wonderful dog portrait!

You rendered the picture in fabric beautifully. I LIKE the soft colors contrasted with the bright striped outfit. As for portrait teachers, you need some input from new member Gail, who does these masterfully. I personally took a class from Marcia Stein, but she uses people in profile or from the back in her quilts. I also took a class from Esterita Austin, not in portrait quilts, but she now emphasizes these in her latest workshops. Lots of books out there, too; I have many. In an email, I'll share the titles with you! Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.com
