This one was a gift for a friend, she wrote: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Here&#8217;s my favorite reproduction of a photo of a dear childhood friend with her partner walking through Yosemite National Park. \u00c2\u00a0The picture was on their Holiday card. It touched my heart so much, I reproduced it as best I could, and sent it to her as a thank you gift. \u00c2\u00a0They were thrilled, and almost speechless!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d  I can see why &#8211; it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wonderful.  Check out the pictures she has been using for inspiration.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.believemagic.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/20180129_185741_resized-2018-02-9-20-53.jpg\" alt=\"20180129_185741_resized-2018-02-9-20-53.jpg\"\/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.believemagic.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/20171121_175237_resized_1-2018-02-9-20-53.png\" alt=\"20171121_175237_resized_1-2018-02-9-20-53.png\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.believemagic.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/20171126_192729_resized_1-2018-02-9-20-53.jpg\" alt=\"20171126_192729_resized_1-2018-02-9-20-53.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nFrom the photo of her daughter, Cindy created this art quilt.  It has so much movement.  And she drew in a face on the girl and her puggle.  It capture the excitement and enjoyment of the moment.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.believemagic.com\/journal\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/20180105_144835_resized-2018-02-9-20-53.jpg\" alt=\"20180105_144835_resized-2018-02-9-20-53.jpg\"\/><br \/>\nCindy also created this photo replica of her daughter trekking\/hiking through Chile and Patagonia. \u00c2\u00a0Cindy is having so much fun stitching up these wonderful treasures.  I asked her how she was creating the faces.  She wrote:  \u00e2\u20ac\u0153I used free-motion quilting and a little thread painting for faces and shadows. \u00c2\u00a0I&#8217;ve found that thread painting shadows is easier before sandwiching the layers, but it almost looks the same before as after.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n<p>She also notes:  \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Tiny pieces of shoes are tedious , but patience in getting the tiny bits fused and appliqu\u00c3\u00a9d on the background fabric is paramount to a great outcome!\u00e2\u20ac\u009d   I concur &#8211; shoes and other tiny appliqu\u00c3\u00a9 pieces can be tedious, but they do help make the quilt come alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I love seeing quilters, artists and crafters creating pieces inspired by my patterns and creations.
