I have a nice selection of quilts, textile art, fabric collage, animal fabric collage, embellished fabric projects, Inktense pencil & block projects, painted canvas background ideas, patterns, informative technique demonstrations, color and design ideas, and much more! Look at my work, see what you like and let me know if you'd like to schedule a presentation, lecture and/or workshop!
Sign up to hear from us about specials, sales, and events.
Pattern and technique are available with a class. Let me know if you have a group that would like to learn how to do this type of quilt! This one is my sample and is not finished yet, but it was so fun to do!
This technique and design can be done in many different colors and fabric choices! Just choose a background and a theme for your quilt, and it will look different than mine, but with the same mountain/alpine theme!
Finish off your quilt with this easy, fun, and colorful option!
Send me an email and let's set a date for your class!
Studio of Leilani Joy Purvis in Three Rivers/Bend, Oregon (summer home)
This is a fabric collage designed from a photo I took of my grand-puppy Peeka. The size is: 20" x 28" on a batik fabric background. It is made from hundreds of pieces of fabric I cut and put into place, then thread painted it to add realism.
It is very important to start with a clear photo of the animal in good lighting to show the eyes, nose and mouth clearly. It is up to you if you want to tweak the photo, by rotating it or putting it into a photo app to alter the appearance, as I did.
I plan to send out emails a few times of year to announce new projects, classes and patterns.
If you're interested in a class or workshop in the Mesa, Arizona or Bend, Oregon areas, please contact me! I teach: Fabric Collage, Animal Fabric Collage, Improvisational & Curved Piecing, Free Motion & thread painting, Color and Design for quilting, or Embellishments for textile art? Let me know !
