Puzzled Faces

About a week ago, my Mom told my brother that she wanted to put a puzzle together. She picked one that my nephew had made for her with a picture of him, me, and Mom.  This puzzle has 1014 pieces and because of several elements, it is a difficult puzzle. However, the three of us, Mom, my brother and I finally got it together - for the second time. 

The wall, and our clothing made this quite a difficult puzzle. However, the photo is a good one as we all are smiling and look nice.

Memories - Faces

One of my favorite places to go is in Mexico on the Yucatan peninsula.   A friend and I have found a place where we love to be - when time and finances permit. We have taken many photos during our visits. Since he is the photographer, I am in more of the photos. He is "camera shy." 

We visited the train museum which was a open but just to wander through - no guides. 

At a local art museum I was taking a photo of these big dolls.  One of the workers insisted that I let her take a photo with me in it.  I have a big head, but these folks are the clear winners in this big head contest. 

This, as I am sure you can tell, is NOT me. These two guys run a loncheria (a place to eat lunch.) We often used their services as the food was good and the service was excellent. 

Look out!

If you didn't know how silly/goofy I can be, here is photographic proof. I stuck my socks on my ears and made a face while goofing off with a friend - of course he had the camera ready and snapped this. 

Embrace your childlike side.

Sketchy Faces

I have been doing a few quick sketch faces. I did these just for fun and usually just imagined faces. One face however was inspired while I was streaming a video. 

Using an "economy of line"

Inspired by a character in a streaming show.

Hmm.. he seems angry.

Dejected

The one below is for Nicole

Just a bit weird.

The hairstyle looks like the late 60's

Trunk Show for a Quilt Guild

On Tuesday, April 9th,  I had the pleasure of presenting a trunk show for a local quilt guild. The plans for this started way back in June of 2023.  The lady who was scheduling the programs for the guild had seen my work in the local public library display.  We probably emailed at least 20 times prior to the event.  

I must say it was certainly a fun time.  I arrived early so that I got to see all of the show and tell quilts and items from the guild members. 

Here are the photos of some of my presentation. 

This next quilt is one that I haven't shown on my blog previously. 

It was created from lots of pieces from practicing free motion quilting. The first photo is the "back" 

Then here is the front. Honestly either side can be used as the front and face up on the bed.

Below is my Roy G Biv quilt. The colors of the rainbow set on a field of black.

Below is another bright and colorful quilt in a bargello style. (the group went "oooooh!")

Next is the back of a quilt - no picture of the front of this one here. Bu you can find it 

here

Yes we looked at LOTS of quilts and had a great time. 

As my face is in lots of these photos, I am linking to the Friday Face Off with Nicole.
