This is a portrait quilt I make from a picture I took of my grandson when he was 18 months old.  I used the technique I learned from Lea McComas in her online portrait quilt class a few years ago on The Quilt Show website.  The scene in the window of the storm door was created with a technique I learned from Gloria Loughman's book Radiant Landscapes.  The hardest part was the plaid shirt I created using Cayl Bryer Fallert's appli-piecing technique.  This quilt was accepted and displayed in both the Daytona and the Spring Paducah AQS shows in 2018.  At the Georgia National Fair in 2018, it won a First Place award in Medium Quilts, Intermediate, Mixed Techniques category and a Georgia Living Award of Excellence.
