On my design wall – 2013.08.28

I’ve been busy in the last week or so.  I made a portable ironing mat for the top of my rolling, folding table, and I wrote a tutorial on how to create a portrait pattern from a photo.

photoOn Saturday, I drove from Vancouver BC to Tacoma WA with two friends to attend the Pacific West Quilt Show.  It was a great show – very inspirational – and a fun day.  I had a total of 5 quilts on display in the show and special exhibits.  Here’s me with one of my quilts.

I’ve been planning for some time to make a modern quilt from neutral-colored quilt fabrics with text.  Even though I won’t have time to work on the quilt for a while, I pinned the fabrics to my design wall for inspiration.  Every time I walk past the design wall, I think about how I will design the quilt.

    Terry – you look just like your pink portrait on the right! Fun to go to the quilt show with friends, especially when you had so many quilts in it. Looking forward to your photo portrait tutorial!

  2. Taking a minute to catch up reading blogs and wanted to say “thanks” so much for the photo portrait tutorial! Really looking forward to giving this a try! And I just love how your first one turned out with zooming in and using the surreal colors, just my style!! 🙂
