![]() Well, it turns out my brother, John, is the person I have for our family gift exchange. He said he wanted a wallhanging made of an old picture of him on a rock, any size, for his present. Sheesh! these presents are supposed to be a maximum of $20! What does he think I am, a photographer? Maybe a photographer would charge $20, a quilter would charge at least $200, right? Anyway, he is my brother, so I did check out the photo (see left). The figure is fairly clear, and I think the background is woodsy, but since the whole thing is in sepia tones, I have no idea what season it is. By the way, he looks pretty good there, eh? Too bad he's put on some weight since then. So, the next step is to paint John's face, hands, and arms. If they look like a recognizable human being, then I'll finish the quilt. If not, not. So, you still don't know if you're getting a sweatshirt or a quilt, eh, John?
