Hand Lettered Quilting + Postcard Project with Karlee Porter
What is Hand Lettered Quilting?
Hand lettered quilting is a technique that allows you to incorporate chalkboard-art style into your creations. Karlee Porter is the designer behind this style of quilting, typically done by free-motion stitching.
What is done by “hand,” then, you ask? Creating the design is done by hand, and the resulting design has a hand-drawn look. To achieve the look in stitches, there are three options: hand embroidery, free-motion and machine embroidery.
In Sulky’s free webinar on November 12 at 2pm EDT, Karlee will showcase all three methods so you can use the one that suits you and your creative style. Plus, you’ll learn how to create a postcard using a digitized hand-lettered quilting design.
WHO IS KARLEE PORTER?
Karlee Porter is a designer, quilter, and hand lettering fiend. She has been an artist all her life, and specializing in fabric and thread since 2009.
Karlee loves to create new designs for computerized quilters and machine embroiderers and has over 1,000 designs for sale on her website. Karlee loves combining her love for poetry and quotes with her visual art. She loves creating greeting cards and spreading love all around like glitter! Karlee is probably best known for her free-motion quilting technique book, “Graffiti Quilting” and her new book, “Hand Lettered Quilting,” where she takes the reader through the entire process of creating a unique hand lettered design, applying it to fabric, and embellishing it with tons of different free-motion filler styles. Karlee is only 28, and is looking forward to many more years of spreading love in the sewing and quilting community.
