Usually I make an 8" x 8"
journal quilt a week, in a couple of hours; but given all the recent exciting events, of Bill's traveling and accepting a position in NYC and the grandchildren's moving away, I have fallen behind. One reason was I simply could not think of a way to capture the idea of Joe's taking care of the three grandchildren in extraordinary situations.
I thought of Juggler Joe and had them pose...but nothing came to mind that I could do in a couple of hours. Finally, I decided to portray Joe as Superman, answering many calls from the parents, rushing to their home. I found some fabric to do the job. You can click to enlarge.
Looks Like Super Joe enjoys his role to the hilt!
ReplyDeleteExtraordinary Joe in Superman Situations. Looks like EVERYBODY is having a SUPER time.
ReplyDeleteReally, really cute and clever, as always! You find the best fabrics for these!
ReplyDeleteI love them and their use here. The photos of Juggler Joe were darling, too!
What absolutely perfect depictions of your grandchildren. Can't believe you found that fabric! Joe as Superman - yes, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI loved your pictures of Joe and the grands. So cute! David is growing so fast he'll soon be as big as the girls. Does Joe ever have a bad day?! Bless his heart. The quilt is lovely. (Yeah, I know. My favorite word.) The three depictions of the grands are super as in Superman.
