Collage is an art that unleashes creativity and passion. It takes a really talented person to master the craft. And one of the talented persons who have established a name in collage making is Amy Wasserman.
Amy Wasserman lives and works in western Massachusetts with her husband, Scott, and Biskit, the love pup. She has worked as collage instructor since 1985. Her clients include Bates Southwest, Business Week, Nickelodeon, Saatchi & Saatchi, Smithsonian, Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated for Kids, St. Martin’s Press, TIME, and The Washington Post.
Amy is a graduate of the Pratt Institute of Design, whose work can be found in many mainstream publications like Time, Money, Smithsonian and others. She's been at it for more than ten years, and only recently migrated to the Macintosh for her primary tool. Now Amy creates her true masterpieces on a monster Mac system.
In addition to collage illustration, Amy is also inclined in photography, quilting, knitting, cooks vegetarian gourmet food and loves hiking in the woods with her husband and puppy.
In an article entitled Amy L. Wasserman Collage Illustration featured in DT&G May, 1996 issue, Amy sent a demo disk full of luscious eye-popping collage masterpieces…Now the works of Amy is exhibited in the Design & Publishing Center Gallery.
If you are interested in collage making, you can start by collecting clippings of different images, scaling them carefully, shaping, sanding and gluing them all together to create a magnificent piece of art. You must have passion for the work, because this craft entails a lot of patience. One piece of art is worth hours and hours of work! It is truly exhausting. Sure it is. But the moment that you take a glance at your final output, you’ll be fulfilled - and the next time you know is that you’re already hooked.
Although the Mac and programs like Collage, Photoshop, ColorIT and Painter make it so easy for the masses to create collage, true talent will always outperform all others. The skill that is developed by constant practice blooms into more and more beautiful craft.
Amy Wasserman’s works are really wonderful and extraordinarily amazing! See for yourself and experience a different kind of art. Amy can be contracted for custom-made collages for anything from greeting cards to billboards. This woman is really gifted when it comes to art. Mind you, if you want advice or skill of a pro, catch up with Amy at www.cutnpaced.com.

Timely help for quilting
About Quilting This vibrant Snowball quilt block is assembled with a white on white interior and purple tips. A red heart is appliqued to the center of the 6" (finished size) block. If you're already into applique, the gentle heart will be a breeze, and beginners will find that it's a perfect first applique project (read my Needleturn Applique Basics for technique how-tos). The block is from a 2009 Quilting Forum event, where it was sewn by numerous members.

Both blocks are assembled the same way, it's just the color values that are flip-flopped, but the two versions are unique enough that I felt a separate pattern would be a good option for the quilt block shown here. I've included instructions to make the block's flying geese units in a couple of ways -- both are quick-pieced but one technique results in no fabric waste. Choose the method that works best for the fabrics you have on hand. I saw some examples online recently of quilts made using this value layout, but can't locate them now -- the blocks looked wonderful placed on point.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Hearts 'n Rags Rag Quilt Pattern Hearts 'n Rags is an easy rag quilt pattern, one that you can assemble pretty quickly. The quilt is made with a combination of block types: squares with raggy heart applique, plain floral squares, blocks cut from a border print and another unit created by sewing two bars together. Mine is lightweight, with no batting, but I've provided yardage and cutting instructions for a middle layer if you choose to add it. I machine sewed my hearts to the blocks and left their edges ragged, but didn't clip them. They frayed pretty well during a couple of washings, but feel free to clip into the seam allowance of yours to make them a little bit fuzzier.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Here's My Heart Quilt Pattern Here's My Heart is a 64" x 84" quilt that's a combination of patchwork and appliqué. Alternate Snowball blocks are adorned with Sunbonnet Sue and Overalls Sam -- two traditional characters that quilters seem to either love or hate. The appliqué blocks are separated by "chain-type" patchwork that helps create a diagonal flow across the surface of the quilt. Increase the quilt's size by adding blocks or altering the borders, or make a quick wallhanging from fewer blocks.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Mosaic Pinwheel Quilt Block Pattern I wanted the two sets of spokes in the Mosaic Pinwheel quilt block to vary a bit in color value, but not enough to create high contrast between the two areas. The result is a quilt block with subtle differences in its pinwheels, creating somewhat of a colorwashed look. Go with more contrast if you like, and maybe even consider this one for a brightly colored baby quilt.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Vintage Chains Quilt Pattern Those of you who know me know that I love vintage reproduction fabrics, especially prints that were popular during the Civil War era, and that's what I had in mind when I designed this quilt. The fabrics might not all be right-on, but it has a vintage flair. If you aren't a fan of the vintage-look, it's easy to change the quilt's look entirely by simply choosing different fabrics. I rarely sew with solids, but this is a pattern I might consider for an Amish style quilt, combining deep navy or black with brighter colors. To make the Vintage Chains quilt, you'll sew batches of two different ten-inch blocks, and then place them on point and add a couple of borders. The quilt finishes at about 84" x 98".

Permalink | Comment | Email this Snail's Trail Quilt Pattern I like the neutral theme of this Snail's Trail quilt, but the pattern will look good sewn with any contrasting fabrics you choose. The 9-inch blocks are constructed with two fabrics: one light neutral and one dark. A very dark inner border surrounds the blocks, with a wider border beyond it. The Snail's Trail quilt finishes at 70" x 77". Snail's Trail Quilt Pattern originally appeared on About.com Quilting on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 at 06:31:42. Permalink | Comment | Email this Singer Featherweight Photo Gallery Tiny by today's standards, when people see a vintage Singer Featherweight for the very first time they sometimes think the little sewing machines are toys, but Featherweights are actually dependable workhorses that sew an excellent straight stitch. I've had several Featherweights over the years, like this white version. It lives at my house right now, even though I gave it to my daughter years ago. She has a Bernina, but I expect her to retrieve this little guy at some point. You'll find more photos in our Featherweight Gallery, so take a look, and then consider sending me a photo of your sewing machine.

Permalink | Comment | Email this Single T Quilt Block Pattern There are many different types of traditional T quilt quilt blocks, but the Single T block variation is one of the quickest and easiest to make. The block is made up of half-square triangle units that come together to form a very visible T shape. At first glance the T block seems a little plain, but you can create all sorts of dramatic layouts with it by turning the blocks in different directions,.

The block finishes at 12" square, and looks nice when it's either straight-set or placed on-point. The design, with lots and lots of patches, is a perfect choice for your next scrap quilt.
