Featured Workshop

The Magic of Fabulous Faces

Every face begins with fabric. Every face ends with a story.

Hot Sauce Hannah, a Fabulous Faces fabric portrait by Jean Impey

Meet the Face

Hot Sauce Hannah

Hot Sauce Hannah is hot in more ways than one. At her favorite Thai restaurant, she challenges the chef to make a dish too spicy for her. Her eyes may water and her nose may run, but Hannah always comes back asking for more.

Her other passion is haute fashion—because a woman who can handle that much heat should never settle for blending in.

Meet a few more fabulous personalities

Turn fabric into a personality-filled portrait while learning Jean’s playful collage, design and quilting techniques. Every face is wonderfully different—and unmistakably your own.
