Review:

Fiber Art News "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 appliqu�d 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 appliqu� 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." --Fiber Art News

"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." --Reader review

About the Actor:

Fiber artist Katie Pasquini was born and raised in Eureka, California, with her seven brothers and sisters. She graduated from Eureka High School, where her main focus was the arts. After her senior year, Katie lived in Woodside, California, caring for her mother, who had Lou Gehrig's disease. While there, she attended a quilting class, which started Katie on her fantastic journey with cloth. When Katie and her mom returned to Eureka, she opened Katie's Quilt Shop, which she ran for five years. She then began traveling in the United States, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Belgium, Switzerland, and England, teaching contemporary quilt designing. Katie has changed her style over the years, starting with traditional works, then creating mandalas, followed by dimensional quilts. She is enjoying landscapes and flora and feels as though she has returned full circle to her beginnings as a painter. Now she is painting with fabric. Katie has won many awards throughout her career, including the Penny Nii award at the 1998 Visions Show for her quilt Passages, Chaco Canyon. Her quilt Rio Hondo was chosen as one of the 100 quilts of the twentieth century.
