Enjoy your weekend and stay safe.

Connie,
Thanks for your encouragement. I'm trying what you said.
Hope it works.
We are all doing the best we can to remain positive.

I've been working a little slower with my Faces project, but finally got it put together. Really love to read so my background fabric says a lot about me. I used mostly scraps from another project for the face and fat quarters for the background.

Finished my face. It’s me in my cycle helmet . I had to paint most of the flags as I only had the US one on fabric I bought about 20 years ago on a visit. The other flags are European of all the countries I have cycled or kayaked in. The Bird is one of the flightless New Zealand birds I do have in fabric bought there also about 20 years ago. I really must use more of my stash

Well Alex,, I got my face finished & I am so proud. I quilted the side with the buttons & the top. The yellow I used a decorative stitch. I used the blanket stitch around the face neck, eyes, mouth & used a decorative stitch around the blouse. My husband had an old frame so we framed it in it which was the perfect size & we think looks so good. My label will be Sew Linda. Let me know what you all think. Only the second time I have quilted anything as I am learning.

HELP I have filled this out about 10 times Can't add my photo !!!! It finally worked ! YEA!
Loved this project. My favorite flower is the Sunflower. Vincent Van Gogh , my favorite artist. This was a soul searching project.
I sewed my background together used and used Apila-Web to apply my hair and facial features. aaai plan to add other interesting things
in the background. Many years ago I did a face out of fabric and used stitchery thread to add interest. Loved that one to.
I taught ART for 32 years, painted, quilted and did silversmithing. ART is my thing!
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

May I suggest a few things you made from silver dangling from your hair & a necklace. Maybe an art pic or two on the background. just a thought is all. I do love your face.
