I do have blue eyes and I do wear glasses, but the similarity stops
about there! The pictures around the face represent things that interest
me, which is why I don't get much quilting done!

Isn't it too bad that Dean forgot to include a "wrinkle"
button in EQ5? ;-D
Please ask him to leave it out in EQ6 as well!
I'm pretty sure using EQ keeps us using our minds, which is known
to keep one young!

I used the photograph taken on my graduation day in April. I finally
gained a BA(Hons) over forty years after leaving school. Appropriately,
the block I used in the background is called Bachelor's Puzzle.

My Girl
|
Part of me is still a child. I love to swing. I memorized this poem
as a child and think of it especially when days are sunny and blue.
The poem is written by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850 - 1894) and in
a book I had as a child, called "A Child’s Garden of Verses".
Here is my picture of me in that poem.
How do you like to go up in a swing,
Up in the air so blue?
Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide, Rivers and
trees and cattle and all Over the countryside—
Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown, Up
in the air I go flying again,
Up in the air and down!
The girl in the swing, river, bushes and sun are my original creations.
The rest are from the libraries.

I started out with a photo of my self and traced it in Patchdraw.
For the quilt behind me, I remember seeing a quilt with the cornucopia
block set on point and it was called Judy's Bouquet so, here I am
with my bouquet.

This was a great challenge, making the drawing of picture that was
taken from a picture with others in the photo and cropping it. Then
it was saved in black and white as bmp, and imported for tracing.
The tracing was the hardest part, using patch draw and trying to draw
a nose, but asking questions on the info site and getting quick answers
really helped.

Saving the block to a motif and readjusting the nodes.

...and my project is going well!
Two friends to whom I sent this drawing said they'd have known it
was me if they'd seen the quilt and not been told who the person is.
Of course, they *might* be lying! :)

...when nothing goes together right, the guild newsletter (my responsibility)
is too long or too short, I have a headache, and blocks start popping
right off my latest project.
To do this version, I changed my smile to a frown (and then some),
replaced some blocks with gray plain blocks, and placed skewed versions
of 5 blocks on layer 2. I'm very happy with the effect!

This is how I hope to be remembered. I am not sure where the picture
came from but it seems so perfect. I think it was from a Dover clip
art book. I had not tried importing clip-art into EQ5 but it was very
easy.

This is an original drawing of myself in a few years--not too far
down the line. I added embroidery onto her quilt. In my original bluework
block I drew out squares and embroidered a small motif in each square.

Tracing a photo of a person is not my favourite activity. I scanned
the fabric for my hair but it is not light enough.

I received EQ5 as a gift last month and found this challenge to be
a lot of fun and definitely a learning experience!

Puuhhhh, I did my very best!
The Blocks in the bachground are from my Book "Atarashii Patchwork",
about Japanese Folding techniks. I mean, they belong to me as well
as the brooch, I got from my mother long years ago.

When I turned 50, I decided it was high time to lose weight and get
in shape. This designs makes fun of "the Old Robin" as I
am now a Weight Watchers Lifetime Member. The Old Robin was in denial,
the New Robin feels younger than ever!

This was a real challenge! I used Barb Vlack's "portrait"
as a BMP for tracing the head. This was then modified to my details.
The background is an original block drawing.
