Here I am at the end. I have completed my last quilt and will not start a new one for months. It is a very strange feeling compounded by the fact that I still have 2 weeks before the kids are home for the summer and I have jury duty tomorrow.
I have posted her on my website HERE, but this is a small showing:
It’s working title is Adelpho (which means brother in Greek). I found Ginny at church when we moved, and I’ve always called her my doppelganger — although that seems to imply that one of us is evil, and I hope that isn’t the case. She does have my same name, however, which in my experience used to be fairly unusual, so I’ve felt a kinship with her since we met. Given her theological experience, it seemed fitting that the name for the piece be Greek. I may still change it.
The new yellow in her hair and the blue eyes made a big difference. Good work!
It looks great, the eyes are intense. I hear you about the kids being home for the summer. I have four and not much gets done during the summer vacation as far as quilting goes. I do try to go down and sew at night time but it’s not the same as having a whole day.
I love the portrait! You have captured the sparkle of personality in her expression. Great job!
I love it!
Would love to see a close up of the stitching you did on the face…that’s where I always tend to lock up…

FABULOUS! I hope you will be able to THINK lots of creative thoughts over the summer and return to the studio SOON!
I love it! How could I not? It’s fabulous!
Ginny, I am always totally amazed at your quilts and even your small projects. Take a book for jury duty. As for summer books, have you read any of Jody Picoult?
