Some more art quilts

 I realize that I haven't posted as much as I should about the work I'm doing. Here are some more qrt quilt images.

Beach Girl - This is the first one I made after my first portrait for the Social Justice Sewing Academy, back in 2021. I love the way the flowers just jump off her. 


And here is one I did of my SIL Pam when she was a child. This one was completed in 2024, but I worked on it on and off for about a year and a half. Life gets kinda busy. This one is nearly life-size (for a child of about two that is, not the size she is now. 😊)

My Uncle Lee

 Somehow I've become the repository for many family photos. This is both a blessing and a curse. I'm always concerned that they will be lost or damaged, and they take up some room.

The blessing is that they are a wonderful resource for art. This is a portrait quilt of my uncle Lee. I'm not sure, no one is around to tell me how old he was, but this looks like maybe his first school portrait. I just loved the expression. 

I added the frog because every young boy needs a frog.
