Back when I was doing these, a blog reader told me "You are doing quilting designs, you should start quilting." It was a few years later that a friend asked me to just sit in her quilting class and try to do what she was teaching. She said, I just want a friendly face in the room. Ha, I think she knew that I would be hooked and become a quilter. Another love of mine is travel. I don't get to do it as much as I would like, but when I go, I usually take photos of things that strike me as interesting or happy. While in Mexico, I saw this face over a doorway that made me smile, so I hope you smile too.
And just for grins, here a a photo of a MUCH younger "me" with someone you just may recognize.
I wish I still had all of that hair that I had then.
And yes, that really is "her." We were both a lot younger then.
I think this was made in the early '90s.
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

You certainly look different in the throwback photo
ReplyDeleteDon't we all look different in older age. I look at myself in the mirror and wonder who the hell it is. LOL However, let's start at the beginning. That is a wonderful story of how you became a quilter. One thing always leads to another. I have a face very similar that I got while in Mexico. I have it packed away right now. Thank you for sharing with FFO and have a great weekend.
ReplyDelete...I've been intrigued by Zentangle, but have never tried it. Is that Reba McEntire? Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteYes Tom, that is really Reba.
ReplyDeleteInteresting how you came to quilting!
ReplyDeleteLove the sunny face - and the younger you :-)
Interesting art, photos and post! You and Reba were BABIES!
ReplyDeleteNice to see your younger self, but I don't know he lady you are with! I like zentangling, and used to do a lot. Nice to see how you became a quilter! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteShe knew you would be hooked and become a quilter! LOVE the photo of you and Reba - you both look great! And the sun above the doorway did make me smile - ;))
ReplyDeleteThat's a great sun face. And it's perfect for Friday Face Off and for August when it's warm too. Have a great weekend Gene.
ReplyDeleteI always love visiting here, but I am really late due to not being able to sit very long. I love your doodles, but they make my hand ache just looking at the amount of work you put into each of them.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading how you got hooked on quilting. Serendipity.
Sure enjoyed the photo of you and Reba, too. Lucky you.
You could probably teach a class or two on quilting now. Great photo of you and Reba.
ReplyDeleteI recognize both 'faces' in the photos. I wish I was as skinny as I was back in the 1990's.
ReplyDeletelol, I am amazed with what you can do just doodling. :) Gorgeous!
