Favorites

I spent most of the day getting ready for a family party tonight...so this post is all about  favorites!

They snickered at her life full of many patterns...but she smiled knowing she was only being true to herself. Alisson Burda

This is of my favorite quotes...it seems like it was written just for me. And it's perfect for what is now of my favorite puzzles. 

I'm sorting the pieces for the next one....and it's so different. I tried to start it once a while ago and had to put it away. It's a treasure....but it's also going to be a big challenge for me. But it seems like the right time for a big challenge.

More on that another time.

I've used this many patterns quote in all kinds of art projects and journals...including this page for our accordion book with my art group. Which...by the way was one of my favorite shared art projects. 

You can read about it here:

I also used the quote here in this post...in the start of my Funky Faces in Stitch class  with Gina Ferrari where we embellished blind continuous drawings of our faces. It was one of my all time favorite classes!

It took me back on a journey to all the posts of my projects during and after the class. We started on paper...and I loved the process I went through coming up with background designs and developing a style.

 

We ended thread painting on fabric....and OMG I had fun and learned so much. Lots of patterns in these projects! At some point it will be time to get more stitching back into my life! I have so many favorites things I love to do!

Speaking of faces...remember the post about Dotty's found faces. Turns out they were all found in ONE neurographic drawing. How cool is this. You can read her post...and fabulous predawn walk poem here.
