Blending Photos with Fabric Reviews

"Blending Photos with Fabric has already become the technical bible of photo-quilting, as well as a cutting edge exploration of new artistic directions. Part how-to manual, part creative inspiration, this book is the ideal blend for aspiring photo-quilters.

Kranz and Hayes do not assume their readers are advanced in their digital photography skills. They begin their book with a half-dozen pages of tips on making good photographs -- everything from finding or creating the proper lighting to not putting your finger in front of the lens.

Blending Photos with Fabric addresses fabric selection, borders, scanning, and a variety of photo-editing techniques, all organized in a colorful and varied way that never lets you get bored. If you’re looking for new directions in your quilting, and all those digital images on your hard drive are burning a hole in your pocket, this is an excellent way to get them out there for the world to see (and have fun at the same time)."

"Even the technology–challenged will find the information clear and the projects easy to do. You may awaken an interest in photo quilts that you didn't know you had."
- Jan Magee, Quilter's Newsletter Magazine, April 2005

I have just treated myself to this wonderful book and am so very glad I did!

I live on a beautiful Island (Isle of Man, Great Britain) surrounded by the most wonderful sea, hillside and country views. Now I simply cannot wait to turn some of my "happy snaps" into quilts! This book is so easy to follow and covers every aspect - right down to the selection of a printer and the appropriate software. And then there are the wonderful projects in the book to do!

What with EQ and this book - my creative cup runneth over!! Thank you so much for writing this book!
