So lets be honest. How many times do you get to plug your own mother? Well, in the last couple of years, anyone who knows her will tell you she spends a large majority of her free time quilting these beautiful quilts that she makes using this cool technique that probably most people have not seen before.
Basically she takes a photo, runs some filters on it in photoshop to make it ‘cartoonish’ and ‘texturized’ and then blows it up on a projector. Then she takes a large piece of tracing paper, and draws out a quilting design, based on the projection of the photo that was created in Photoshop. From this drawing, she chooses the quilting patters and sews the whole thing together. For a person who knows absolutely nothing about anything related to quilting and sewing, it’s a pretty nifty process.
Anyhow, here are some of her latest creations (definitely the Obama one at the bottom is the best):
So does this mean that people will now recognize me as the mother of the person that writes the blog “turnthefanon”?
Yes, people from all walks of life are going to come up to you and stare at you in awe over the fact that you are the mother of such a great man.
Note to Pete: Go stare at my mother.
Wow, those are incredible and gorgeous!
Diane,
Great work. I remember seeing the Obama one when I was in Tahoe. I also like the cityscape ones a lot.
