"This is the seventh in C&T's new DVD series, and it's great. It's like taking a class with an expert, but you can do it in your home, on your own schedule, and you can replay each segment as often as you need to. Katie Pasquini Masopust leads the viewer through the steps that she takes to go from a photo inspiration to a final appliquéd art quilt in a rainbow of colors. Step-by-step, Katie talks you through the process of choosing an inspirational photo, cropping, tracing, enlarging, making templates, using spray starch to turn under the edges, invisible appliqué and free-motion quilting. What was especially fun was the extras: views of her home and studio in Santa Fe, a mini-retrospective of her work and hearing about her family and career, including her time as President of Studio Art Quilt Associates."

"AMAZINGLY AWESOME!

Some artists don't really want to give away their secrets, not so in this case. I've been a fan of Katie's quilting techniques ever since I saw her demonstrate her ghost layers and color washes technique on Simply Quilts. Her earlier book on this technique didn't go into the same level of detail and depth but the DVD really shows you all the steps to achieve a similiar effect. In this DVD she demonstrates how to transform a photo into a quilt using applique with many of the steps from the ghost layer and color wash book. Katie's genious is in her incredible use of color and knowing how to make selections to trace and transform each portion of a photo to recreate it in fabric and finally a finished fabric composition and work of art. Thank you Katie for this fabulous tutorial and to C&T publishing for the wonderful video series."

"This DVD goes with Katie PM's book Design Explorations (see separate review). 75 minutes in bite-sized chunks teaching you how to make an art quilt. The DVD is professionally produced and is excellent quality.
Katie PM is a great teacher and gets her message across in a simple, easy way. Her innovative techniques for making fantastic quilts are fun. You'll return to this DVD time and again to rethink your design, check on colour combinations, quilt and more. Learn everything you need to know to start making great art quilts."
