Several months ago, my
Fibervision group got together for a funny face portrait workshop led by Rene Jennings. Our friend and
Fibervision member, Susan West had just lost her home of 25 years in the Tea Fire. We decided to combine these small quilts into a group quilt for her. Each portrait is an 8-1/2 x 11 finished quilt that is attached to a quilted backing. It turned out great! Here's the finished quilt.
We gave the quilt to Susan yesterday at the
Fibervision meeting. Needless to say, she loved it. It's probably the most laughing she's done in the the last 6 months. If you want to see a close up of my
quilt, look
here and
here is the second funny face I created.

What a perfect gift to turn her life around.
That was a wonderful gift and the quilt is just a load of fun.
What a lovely and very meaningful gift! I love it...it's really bright and cheerful.
Thanks, Judy, for sharing Susan's "friendship" quilt with your visitors... I had the opportunity to see this quilt in person and it is fantastic! The colors are so vibrant, and the faces are so much fun with LOTS of detail that you can't HELP but smile! Susan is such an upbeat person and I know she your efforts with this quilt mean a lot to her.
