The police have their missing persons but then, so do I! lol If you noticed, I am missing a few "ladies" from my ladies series. Way back in the middle of October I was commissioned to do these sweet gals. The first one, #24 (Sharon from Australia) asked me to do her, (it was to be a Christmas gift from her husband) and she promised not to open it before Christmas. Considering the mail time between Wisconsin and Australia, it wasn't much of a wait because I think it took over 4 weeks just to get to her. As always, I will show the drawing, the close-up of her pretty eyes, and then the quilt.
And here is the photo of Sharon that she sent for me to work from:
Next, we have the lovely, Robin who is lady #27. She also was a Christmas gift and was commissioned by her generous sister, Melinda.
She also was kind enough to allow me to use the original photo so that you could see the resemblance:
So there you have it......2 more beautiful ladies added to the growing list. I do have two more to show you next time....a wonderful mother and daughter duo, numbers 28 and 29, again from Australia. Stay tuned........
as you say... more beautiful ladies.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the post of the other two Aussies - they also look great!
Happy New Year, Carol

ReplyDeleteI love your ladies. How does one commission a work?
ReplyDeleteDo you ever do multiple gals on one quilt? I have three sisters.
Or my BFF and me.
I *guess* I could do individual, but one quilt w/ all members, reproduced multiple times would be the 'ultimate'.
can't wait to hear!
Hey I know Robin....What a wonderful gift !
ReplyDeleteI love the ladies, such a cute idea
ReplyDeleteBonjour, un petit mot pour vous dire toute mon admiration pour votre travail!Vous êtes une source d'inspiration pour moi et beaucoup d'autres!

Robin's quilt got lost in the mail over Christmas and she finally received it yesterday. I am so glad it was sent back to me after my stupid mis-addressing it the first time.
ReplyDeleteThank you again for creating this for my wonderful sister.
