I was recently looking over my New Years Resolutions ~ or should I say, sniffling over them and my dismal progress.
Well, perhaps I'm being a bit dramatic. I tend not too take things too seriously as a matter of fact. However, I was planning on learning MANY new techniques this year, at least one a month. And that has just not happened!
However, I finally got my rear in gear and grabbed a DVD off my bookshelf I've been eyeing lately. It's called Lynn Koolish Teaches You Printing on Fabric
and is part of the At Home with the Experts series which I absolutely adore!
I hadn't even taken the cello wrapping off, so it was just like getting a brand new gift. Now I must say this DVD is just jam packed full of information.
I love this DVD! I have absolutely no experience at all with printing on fabric. But with Lynn Koolish's calm, reassuring manner and clear step-by-step presentation made these techniques instantly approachable and non-threatening.
Lynn takes the viewer through the entire process at just the right pace. Instructions begin with very basic information about printers and inks, and progress all the way through how to electronically manipulate and enhance your own photos to create unique quilts and other projects.
She even demonstrates how you can scan objects to use in making wonderful collage-style works of art. Now, I really feel that I could jump right in and begin having fun and getting creative.
The DVD also includes a tour of Lynn's studio ~ which I love, a gallery of quilts made using many of the inkjet printing techniques you just learned, and a printable Quick Start Guide PDF with tips, techniques, and Photoshop Elements
basics. The guide is a great accompaniment for people who like to have things written down as well as the visual lessons.
Now you know I am a big fan of DVDs for learning, so I highly recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to learn about this fascinating process.

I can't wait to start putting all my new knowledge into practice!
It has been my goal to learn some new techniques too. Maybe one or two will work for me. I just tried freezer paper piecing. Ill keep Lynn Koolish in mind. Thanks!
