When I stayed with Mom one night, I took my bin of pre-fused fabric and pre-fused scraps with me. While mom was reading in the living room, I was creating with scissors and a mini iron in the dining room.
I took the first photo at home after the outline quilting was complete.

| Hi, my name is Marla. Then I looked at the back and thought, why not show a look behind the curtain. With a solid fabric on back it is easier to see the quilting lines. |
Then I finished quilting this lovely red haired lady.
I am linking this to the Friday Face Off hosted by Nicole at DVArtist. Clicking the link will take you to her blog. It is great fun to see how various people interpret the challenge.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

Marla is beautiful. I guess you could say both inside and out. I actually think the backside would make an interesting piece too. Thanks for sharing both sides. It's really interesting to see. Happy weekend Gene!
both sides are interesting for sure. These are so modern - not at all what I do but still pulls me to look at them - this is art for sure
Wow Gene. you are just amazing. I love everything about this. The colors, the shapes and of course her expression. Thank you for sharing with FFO. Have a great day and I hope your mom is doing better. https://beadwright.blogspot.com/2023/02/friday-face-off-21723.html
She looks kind and talented 😍 You make your quiltings very well👍
Happy weekend 💚
Nice face!
What a pretty redhead! Another GREAT addition to your collection - ;))
Very interesting, even sweet as her face exudes peace. She really pops out of the dark background. You must have a whole population of quilted faces by now. I can see them in a children’s picture book! So very unique!!!
Lovely, two for the price of one as well.
Good use of your time. Hope your mother keeps improving.
It was fun to see both sides of your quilted face, Gene! There have been a lot of quilters in my family, but they did traditional quilts. Yours are vibrant and fun, like your red-headed lady. I hope your mother is feeling better every day.
LOVE your red haired Marla. Even her back side! I think this is one of my favorite quilts/faces you have made. One thing I learned from you today: I should fuse a bunch of my hand dyed fabrics for later use!!
That is very pretty. I love your style so much.
What a fun portrait quilt, Gene! What size did Marla end up? It's hard to tell from the photo.
