FINALLY I'm getting a chance to Quilt - yippeee! It didn't take long to sew with my Left foot. I really miss my Knee lift presser foot, but hey I can SEW!
I have completed 3/4 of my Aunt Anne's Buddy Blanket for her 75th Birthday.

I kept working on the pic I have of her @ 18 yrs of age. No matter how many times I used Photoshop, I couldn't bring in the detail enough to produce a nice print on Fabric. All thise hours were wasted.....sew onto plan "B" As luck would have it, Aunt Anne sent me a picture from a few weeks ago. She & my Uncle Nick took their cousins from Italy out to the Mandarin. I used Photoshop to fix what I could....mainly the whites of her eyes. They kept printing as green. I also did a touch up on a few wrinkles, teeth & face outline. The fabric print seemed to accentuate these areas. I am veri pleased with the fabric print now.
I hope to get some time over the next few weeks to complete the quilt. It needs to be finished early August, I'm glad there's alot of time.
