This is a picture of my Dad that I did through a class at Quilt University with Marilyn Belford a couple of years ago. I hope you like it and will check it out on the Quilting Gallery this weekend. It was a challenging experience but I'm glad I made it as Dad really likes it.

Is that totally an online class?

amazing!

These portrait quilts amaze me. What a nice tribute to your Dad.

totally awesome!

Wow! Can you tell us how that class worked? Would you recommend it?

Wow!!! that is incredible!!! You did an absolutely wonderful job on that!!!!

Wow!!!

Amazing!

Yes, it is totally an online class. I have taken several classes at Quilt University and have found them all to be very good. I would recommend taking any of the classes, however, I do admit that this was challenging and you are working on your own but they are there to help you in any way and give lots of directions. I did end of buying Marilyn Belford's book of Fabric Portraits too but you do get to download and print off all of the instructions during class. I have entered it in the weekly contest on the Quilting Gallery and would appreciate your votes, if you would want to do it. I was shocked at how big the picture uploaded, wow, I didn't know it was going to be that big. Thanks for all your kind words.

Awesome!

Very well done - I can imagine your dad was very moved by your taking the time to make such a wonderful tribute to him.

WOW!!! That's wonderful!!!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

I don't think I could get beyond a stick figure! Your portrait of your dad is wonderful! So full of dimension and depth. Awesome & amazing.

Gorgeous and amazing work! I really admire those of you that can turn a portrait into a quilt. It just boggles my mind!

That is a definite WOW! What a neat gift! You are very talented....

Very nice!! I've taken two classes (Bargello Seasons and Bargello Blues) on QU and I liked them both. I'll take a look at the contest and vote for Dad!!

I just love, love, love this quilt and admire your workmanship and how you met the challenge with this masterpiece. You inspired me to order Marilyn's book, "Portraits for Fabric Lovers." I can't wait to get started! Thank you for sharing your beautiful work.
