Charlotte Freeman had already gotten the life-size portrait well in progress before my class, but wanted help with the hands and face. The cowboy himself is 6 feet tall, and the finished piece, called "Buck-a-Roux," is 36" x 79". The hat is three-dimensional, with the brim projecting out, as are the saddle, rope, kerchief, etc. Buck-a-Roux won first place in Innovative at the 2004 Road to California quilt show.

Project by Charlotte Freeman Hi Desert Quilt Guild, 2003

Faces in Fabric: a workshop for those who are interested in a more specific look at rendering the human face convincingly in fabric, no matter what your drawing skills may be. Designing Art Quilts: Bring a photograph or simple drawing and learn to design your own art quilt pattern. All skill levels are welcome, and the words "I can't draw!" are outlawed.
