Suemar OFFLINE Posts: 35 Thank you received: 187	Some progress. Can you see her long arm? I posted the wrong pic earlier so I deleted it, oops. Starting to quilt her. I'm from Oregon and live in California now so I used a Northwest area map for her face. I love bird and quilting. Fantasy is to be a quilty queen.

PaolaRB OFFLINE Posts: 59 Thank you received: 266	All done! Calling it Paola's (Pow-la) Loves (as each item represents people that I love and a dog, too!) Lots of fun doing this Alex. Thanks! It made me think lovingly about many that are no longer with me but hold an important place in my heart and memories. The backing of the avatar is made with the last house dress my Mom wore when she was very ill. I love that it is a part of this quilt.

I finished my face. Is it me? Kind of ... kind of not. I am not a red head but liked the look. I used the frayed threads from washing my red fabrics for the Holiday Quilt. It was glued on after I finished the piece to keep the 3-D. The symbolism in the piece - Numbers, I was an accountant; Orca, I love all things Alaska; Christmas ornament earrings, I love Christmas; Florida State Seminole items, I love FSU sports; the house is for COVID, feather, just because they were fun; and the sewing machine, thread, fabric, buttons, tape measure and words ... I LOVE sewing and quilting. This reminds me a lot of my life - a little crazy and always busy. More is More! Thanks Alex. This was SO far out of my comfort zone but SO MUCH fun. You have pushed me to do interesting fun things I normally would not do. Happy Thanksgiving to all in the USA.

When I post my picture, should I see the picture or just the file reference when i submit the post?

Jaygrist, You should see the picture if you clicked on the word insert. And you should see an attachment to click on with the picture if you just clicked on file. I would say try again.
Click add file, and insert. then submit. Wait until you see your post before leaving the screen. HelenW

Randall.adrienne54 OFFLINE Posts: 2 Thank you received: 29	My Avatar is daydreaming. Life has been simplified. No frills. I realized I do not have any novelty fabrics, but was able to identify my sewing interest and the swirly fabric represents my love for taking long walks. She is 90% done. This was fun!
