Printing Photos, Fruit, Flowers, and other Fun Stuff on Fabric
30-40 minute technique lecture

In this teaching lecture, Caryl will show you how to create your own original fabric using an inexpensive, ink jet printer. You can use this method for printing pictures on fabric or you can create your own original designs. Caryl will show several of the quilts she has made, using fabric printed on her ink jet printer.

This lecture can be expanded into a 2-3 hour seminar with the addition of demonstration and interaction time with the workshop participants.

• Room that can be darkened. Projected images will not show up in a light room.
• Projector stand
• Podium or professional music stand for reading notes.
• Small table near podium for computer
• Screen which is large enough to see clearly from the back of the room. If more than 30 people will be in the audience, please have a large screen or large blank, white wall available. Slides shown on a home movie screen cannot be seen from the back of the room. Screens can be rented from camera stores, libraries and schools.  If you meet in a church that has not been used for slide lectures in the past, please check the setup ahead of time. Many churches now use screens that are set up for a computer projection system, which hangs from the ceiling. Please check to see if we can plug our computer into this system. If not, we will need a screen that can be used by a projector sitting on a table or stand.
• Public address system (preferably with lavaliere microphone) for audiences of more than fifty people.
• Two or more tables for display of work
• Quilt stand(s) for hanging quilts (if available)

  It often takes up to an hour to set up my educational display and my computer equipment. Please arrange access to the lecture venue as early as possible. I prefer to be completely set up before the first quilter arrives for the lecture. Please remember that quilters always arrive early.
