I'm so happy to introduce two new ladies to you today. Numbers 78 and 79…..Kerry and her beautiful mother, Karyn. They live in Australia. As always I will show you the finished fabric portrait and then the photo I received to work from. A "plus" today is a picture that Karyn sent of her true self with her quilt. I LOVE getting those pictures!!
And Kerry's Mum, Karyn:
How fun, huh?? Of course, I also sent out envelopes again this week.
I also read a few books and I must say that the first two were two of the best books I've read all year so far. #1 is a youth book, I guess they call them YA, but on my niece's advice, I read it and loved it. #2 was even better!! At only 264 pages, I was blown away!! Then, because I liked that one so much, I requested the author's debut from my library and liked that one too, but not as much. I have no idea how I found the book in the first place, all I remember is ordering it from Amazon a few weeks ago. It's in softcover. Don't bother with #4. Ugh! That one is a new release and hardly worth your time.

That's it for this week, my friends! Until next time, enjoy yourself and keep reading!

I just wanted to say your blog is a delight to read. I love your envelope drawings, your portrait quilts and the book reviews. I don't read as quickly as you and right now I am hand quilting a baby quilt so there's no time to read (baby is due on the 15th.)
Hi Carol...I bet those ladies love their ladies! Such work you do!!!
Thank you again for sending my son the envelope and note...he got it today and was very touched by it! I was too! You just have to love this quilting community!
Have a lovely weekend! Sue.
Two more Beauties! And from so far away. Glad to see them I am reading an oldie but a goodie. A Lantern in her Hand by Bess Street Aldrich this week..

Two more beautiful ladies...I am sure they are much loved!! Envelopes are a joy to see once again!
Wspaniałe są te szmaciane "fotografie". Serdecznie pozdrawiam.
Your Quilting Ladies are always sew well done. I do like seeing the photos with such likenesses. Lots of fun and great envelopes too.
Love the ladies - I've been too busy lately to do much blog reading so catching up now - good to see there are still ladies being created.
