$20.00
Join us for an inspiring event with Cindy Richard at Miss D’s Quilt Shop in Palatka, Florida on November 13th, 2025.
Cindy Richard, an award-winning author and renowned fiber artist, will present a captivating trunk show of her quilted portraits and share insights into the unique technique she teaches: Quilted Fabric Portraits.
In this engaging talk, Cindy will explore the fundamentals of portrait quilting, including:
- Choosing the Right Reference Photo: How expressions, body language, and posing enhance storytelling.
- Understanding Value: Why contrast is key to creating depth, dimension, and realism.
- Fabric Selection: Which materials work best for capturing the human face in fabric.
- Pattern-Making Tools & Tips: Proven methods for transforming photos into quilt patterns.
- Quilting for Realism: Techniques to emphasize facial contours and bone structure through stitching.
Cindy believes portraiture—whether in paint, pencil, or fabric—brings subjects to life and tells their story. Her own quilted portraits share deeply personal narratives and powerful messages, all expressed through the art of fabric.
