Charlotte Warr Anderson Quilter, Teacher, Lecturer, Author . 1 , Autobiography:: With a background of sewing and crafts, I made my first quilt, a Log Cabin in 1974. Since 1983 my specialty has been one-of-a kind pictorial quilts made with both applique and piecing techniques. My quilts have won many prestigious awards; among them-second place in the first Great American Quilt Contest, several first places at the American Quilter's Society Show and two Best of Shows at Houston International Quilt Festival. I teach and lecture locally, nationally and internationally. I hid membership in Utah Quilt Guild, the American Quilters Society, the American International Quilt Association, the National Quilt Association, and Studio Art Quilt Associates. My first book, FACES &PLACES-IMAGES IN APPLIQUE published by C&T Publishing will be released in the Fall of 1995. It will explain my unique techniques for layering to obtain a shaded and dimensional look. As to my teaching, I encourage students to sift through my techniques, using them to draw out visions and creativity. I hope to help them express their own personal concepts and to realize that quiltmaking is a viable art form. -C. W. Anderson Faces s Places: Images In Applique Creating images in fabric through the applique' technique and exercises discussed in this exciting new book. Have you ever wanted to create a quilt from a favorite photograph but didn't know how to begin? Capturing realistic details in fabric seems an elusive art, but Charlotte Warr Anderson shows how to portray images in quilt form using a layering l technique that is both easy to understand and use. Limited only by your imagination, you will learn the step-by-step techniques from making patterns from photographs, defining the pattern shapes, and needle-turning applique' to selecting the right fabrics and stitching " by the numbers". A photo sequence for each of the projects guides the quilter through the process. 128 pages. 8 l/2 x 11. 70 full color illustrations. ~~57120 000 2 $24.95 (paper) October

CLASS Description NUMBER OF SESSIONS . , i SESSION #1 SESSION #2 SESSION #3 SUPPLY LISTS AND CLASS PLANS SESSION #1 SESSION #2 Instructor's Lesson Plan Faces &Places - Images in Applique by Charlotte Warr Andersen Charlotte Warr Andersen has prepared this lesson plan as an aid in formulating workshops derived from her book Faces s Places Images in Applique is a very free medium which allows one to portray almost any subject matter. The sequence and direction for layering can enable one to achieve a high degree of realism and facilitate quilting The book details pattern drawing, equipment, and layering techniques used to make original applique quilts and stepby-step instructions are illustrated for assembling each of the applique projects. It is suggested that the prospective instructor read the entire book and then work through two or more of the projects before teaching a class on this subject. To encourage students even more, the instructor should construct his/her own original project using techniques from the book. Create original pictorial applique derived from photos. Learn when to layer from the top down or from the bottom up. Master layering techniques to create r realistic looking figures or landscape scenes. To give an idea of how and why the patterns are drawn the way they are, it is suggested that a project from the book be used for the first session. As comprehension is gained students may be encouraged to develop their own ideas and patterns. Appliqueing figures - layering from the top down. The Dancer's Head (pages 79 83) or Anthony the Rabbit (pages 84 - 90) will require 6 hours of class time. Samatha (pages 91 - 99) will require a two-day workshop (6 hours each day). Landscapes in applique - layering from the background up. Cape Elizabeth (pages 103 - 112) will require a two-day workshop (6 hours each day.) Pattern drawing from student's chosen photo (see Chapters One Three) will require 3 - 6 hours. Session #4: Fabric choices for quilts (Chapter Four) and start to applique from individual patterns. You can be flexible in your choice of hours and time spent. Book - Faces and Places - Images in Applique is necessary resource for all class sessions Basic sewing kit, applique needles, scissors, pins, thread to match fabrics (see equipment needs pages 61 - 63) light box - not every student, boxes can be shared. Fabric for the Dancer's Head: 4 shades of of gray ranging from dark to light for face, 2 separate shades of gray for hair, 2 separate shades for ribbon. Background fabric. Fabric for Anthony the Rabbit white plus 3 shades of gray (can be a print for texture) 2 shades of pink for ears, eye, nose, and 2 shades of blue for eye. Background fabric. Fabric for Samatha: 5 shades of brown for flesh, 2 shades red for lips, 3 shades light to medium gray for eye whites, black for eyes, black and charcoal for hair, 2 shades of burgundy for clothing. Background fabric. Basic sewing kit, applique needles, scissors, pins, thread to match fabrics (see equipment needs pages 61 - 63) light box - not every student, boxes can be shared. Fabric for Cape Elizabeth: pieces of fabric large enough to cover each of the listed items as drawn on the pattern - sky, clouds, islands and peninsula, far away; cliff, water (sea), closer island, far away shrubs and rocks, several appropriate building fabrics, stripe fabrics for fence, cement, mid-size shrubs and rocks, field (grass), close-up shrubs and rocks. (May be finished with border of choice.) f - - SESSION #3 SESSION #4 Have students bring several photos and give your recommendations on which are likely prospects. Each student should bring durable paper large enough to draw a pattern to the intended size for his/her quilt as well as pencil, eraser, fine tip black marker and any other drawing equipment needed. A discussion of copyright issues from Chapter One (pages 12 - 16) is urged. If possible have one of each kind of projector (slide, opaque and overhead) to demonstrate use. If an opaque projector is difficult to come by, have students make slides or transparencies of their photos before class. Demonstrate drawing from an enlarged projection on the wall. Mention the possibility of combining two or more photos. If class is large have as many projectors as you can so students don't have to wait for too long for their turn. It is helpful to have a room that is very dark for the projectors and a separate room that can be lighted for this session. Work with students as you are able to develop and refine individual patterns. Keep each student's skill level and ability in mind. Small projects can be simpler whereas large projects can have more detail. You may wish to critique the students projects after viewing completed pattern. Review students' fabric choices and evaluate whether the chosen fabric will be successful. For example, whether there is too much or too little difference between shades or whether textures or prints are the right scale for the subject matter. Help students choose a manageable starting point, separating the pattern into layerable sections. Light boxes are needed for this session as well as sewing equipment listed for the first two sessions. Aid them with their stitching and cutting decisions. Quilting and finishing options can be discussed (Chapter Nine).
