Embark on a journey of creativity with Jill as your guide! From conception to completion, Jill will navigate you through the process of bringing your quilt to life. Be inspired by Jill's mini trunk show, which will spark your imagination and motivate you to dive right in. With a plethora of ideas, tips, and instructions, make sure to bring along your trusty notebook—you'll need it! 

Begin by gathering your inspirations: pictures, sketches, fabrics, and tools. Discover the importance of collecting findings, threads/fibers, interfacings, and more. Don't worry if you're not an artist—remember, white out and erasers are our friends, along with templates and sometimes even a frying pan lid! 

 

Delve into the essentials: learn about the 'sweet spot,' differentiate between pictorial and landscape quilts, and master the art of balance. Explore techniques for working with focal points, adding dimension and texture, and thinking outside the box. Jill will show you how to incorporate your existing knowledge and, most importantly, how to have fun creating your very own pictorial quilt.
