To my total amazement this quilt was selected to be one of the semi-finalists in McCall's Quilting
Quilt Design Star™ Contest a few years ago, 2010! (Along with about 130 others) It was quite an honor for a beginner like me.

I do not have a machine that does font embroidery nor fancy embroidery patterns, so I used photo imaging to print a font and to add a shadow image of Sylvie's name onto the fabric.
|
 |
| Here is the finished wall hanging. |
 |
| Images of Sylvie were isolated and new backgrounds behind her were created on my computer, basically designing my own fabrics to match each of the pictures before I printed them onto white fabric. |

| Wall hanging: Center panel "Crazy Bird "from Quilt Maker Magazine. This was one of my 1st attempts at quilting before I learned how to photograph them and how to make a good binding. "Maia" was my first attempt at free motion lettering. |
 |
| This was the first time I manipulated the photos to isolate the subject and create my own backgrounds on the computer. Lots of fun, but time consuming. Someday, if I hit the lottery, I'll buy Photoshop. |
