Freckles

My favorite grade school sweater. This was fun I played with the transparency of the fabric and added a red polka dot under the face. I had a few freckles but nothing to agonize over. Actually I thought my nose was huge, silly me.

Bird Girl

My mother wanted a girl and so I came along after 2 boys. She was worried about raising me with so many brothers so she gave me 3 younger brothers. She worried about me being a tom boy and tried to tame me. It sort of worked, I like dresses but am just as happy in blue jeans and a t shirt.

Business Man

This is a business photo of my dad. I flipped one  photo to create a bit of tension. Love the blue eyes. And the back is fun since I decided to add some patchwork for the so called "Art Quilt critics" who always declare "there's no patchwork!"
