I'm hoping to sell the completed quilts once I return. I could NOT believe it when I was looking at information from the only quilting store left around here. Even having SIMPLE, STRAIGHT lines quilted onto a lap size quilt would cost well over $100! I haven't even spent $30 on the fabric of most of those quilts.
 
This is how I'm going so far with my 3d brain.
Each color represents a different part of brain. Well have to go over it again next week when I'm back at craft

UNFORTUNATELY, it's looking like our trip to Pakistan will be cancelled/postponed, THANKS TO ANOTHER UNNECESSARY WAR. That means my quilts CAN'T be completed to be sold! :mad::(
 
This is how my 3d brain and head look once it was completed
Im n9t sure if you can see but we put a hole in the left front of the brain with a screw, a fun way to represent my brain surgery. Instead its saying ive got a screw loose

Im in the processc of doing pictures which all represent my epilepsy in someway.
They are all for an art exhibition the art group im in go to will be in, i dont think its not for a few more months.
But we start now as our projects can take months to do

It looks great. The colors make it look even more interesting.

Since our trip had to be cancelled, I've been doing a lot of other things, & planning more quilt tops to make. Whenever my mom tells me, "You've made enough", I reply "What else should I do all day--sit on the chair & watch TV or remain glued to my laptop?"

One thing I've done is make a lot of bracelets. I use the mid- to larger sized beads I had bought for hair clips & barrettes & clear stretchy "string". My mom took them to some lunches she went to and sold them. I'm hoping that she can sell the lanyards I've made as well.
 
Thanks Sabbo
Once the pictures are done and we finish it all off the final art piece should be good

I didn't feel like painting today so I drew pictures ready to paint when I'm back on Friday
