Yvonne Porcella, whose book taught me how to paint fabric, passed away last week after a long battle with ovarian cancer. She will be sorely missed in the quilting community. (She founded SAQA, among many other accomplishments.)
I never had the chance to meet her in person, but I have all of her books, including the fantastic "Colors Changing Hue" from 1994.
Here is a picture from the book showing her simple setup for painting fabric. The book taught me how to use Setacolor transparent paints for the most gorgeous hues and textures. I highly recommend finding a copy if you're at all interested in painting fabric.
You can see her interviewed by Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims in her California home studio here: https://thequiltshow.com/…/show-713-tqs-quilting-legend-2010
Have a colorful day
Thanks for the links Sherrie. And I don't know how it escaped me that Colors Changing Hues was one of her books. I've always wondered about your fabric painting that you seem so comfortable with (unlike me). Now I know!
