January 21 -24, 2026
Create a stunning portrait from your favorite photo, human or animal, whether you prefer a vibrant, graphic style or a realistic look. With clear, step-by-step instructions using fused appliqué, you’ll find the process approachable and enjoyable. We’ll explore how to use value and the emotional impact of color to truly bring your portrait to life. Plus, I’ll introduce my unique lettering technique, which adds energy and heartfelt meaning to your finished piece. Please contact me with questions. michellejackson@quiltfashions.com
I’ll be adding fat quarter gradations in flesh colors and other vibrant colors to my store soon, made with this class in mind! I’ll also have them available at Road 2 CA.

Personality Plus
SAQA Regional show - People and animals are distinguished by their individual personalities-
We’ve all known shy children and extroverted adults. Additionally, our dogs often look at us in a quizzical fashion, horses radiate kindness out of their huge eyes, and cats sometimes turn up their noses at us.
Wild animals range from playful otters to calculating raccoons and fierce, wild wolves.
