 Dadd-O by Dale Goldberg, 12" x 14"  This weeks inspiration comes from Dale Goldberg. She created this portrait of her Dad using the face portrait technique taught by Phyllis Cullen and Cindy Richard (co-authors of It’s All about the Face) to make this fabric portrait of her Dad. Except for the shirt (made with fabric from one of Dad’s actual shirts) all of the fabric was from the Sepia shades pack. It was based on the included photo.

She has sent us another of her beautiful applique quilts. She mostly used the gradients Sugar Maple, Woodlands, Jenny Lake, Sunshine and Shadows, Navaho for elements of the quilt and added other fabrics for the flowers and squiggles.
Here's her message about the creation of this quilt: "I designed, sewed, and quilted this piece, again using techniques I learned a few years ago in a Jane Sasssaman workshop, "Abstracting from Nature". The thin stems were fused in place but every other element (each petal, leaf, etc.) was straight-stitched in place and then machine-appliqued with a zigzag stitch. After zigzagging, I added the quilt backing. Each element was then outlined in Sew Sassy 12 weight thread, which became part of the quilting, as did the details on the leaves. I added "floaters" (single units of a decorative stitch) to complete the quilting." For sharing, Irma received a 20% coupon for the shop that's good for 3 months!
