Welcome Gilligan, the latest curly haired grad from the Pet Portrait class I taught at the Victoria Quilters Guild Fall Frolic in November. Your mom did a fantastic job of your portrait with all those curly locks and great eyes, nose & mouth that project your look of — please don’t leave me!
Today I finished the poodle portrait and here she is! There were plenty of challenges in creating this fluffy black poodle, but it didn’t end there. When it came to making the internal border, I had to match up 4 different pieces of the checkered fabric and keep those tiny brown checkers all aligned. With a little perseverence (ok…quite a bit of perseverence) it all worked out. Nahanni’s portrait is 18″ x 20″.
