Anita, thank you so much for letting me know you liked your photo memory quilt. Some times it feel like I'm working in a vacuum when I don't get any feed back. And portraits really do make me nervous, I glad you like it.
This one is looking pretty good for the ugly stage. I'll get the borders on tomorrow and get started quilting on it.

Today I got a couple of things ready to paint. I didn't get much done yesterday because I was doing OPS (other people's stuff). Tomorrow should be a good day to paint. This is another "cowboy" scene, ready to put some color on it tomorrow. This one will probably be a display piece, a sample to show people. They look so much better in person then they do in a photo even when they're at this stage. I've had a couple questions on prices for the photo memory quilts so here's the information.
These sizes are approximate for a finished picture quilt. 16"X 18" $100 to $150 18" X 24" $200 to $250 24" X 30" $300 to $350 It depends on how much detail is included from the picture. The more stitching the more time it takes to finish a picture. For special sizes or request, I can quote you a price once I've seen the picture Finished the double portrait, not sure if I like it or not? I'm always a little nervous about portraits. I like figures in a landscape. That seems to show people's personality better then just a head shot. Hope they like it, nice looking couple. This is what I'm talking about. It show's Kelly doing something he likes, not just a head shot that doesn't have a story with it. I finally took another picture of the salmon on silk. It still doesn't do it justice but it's much better then the last one. This picture just glows because of the silk. I can't wait to try another. Now if I can get my carpenter to make me some more frames I'm ready to go. Double portrait picture quilt in the "ugly" stage. I always think I'm going to have to start over at this point. Without the stitching it just looks flat. I thought this might be an easier way to add new items to the web site. Let me know what you think. The old front page is available as a link until I can figure out how to move it here. I'm working on a double portrait photo memory quilt right now. Not to difficult except for the dark clothing colors running on to the skin area's! That's what makes this fun, totally unpredictable. This is one from last week that I sent over to Yakima with Kelly. Hope it sells! |
