          The question was how to find the Face shapes Alex shows.

          Alex shows how to find these in Class 1. The entire playlist is easy to find on the Home page. And look around the tabs on the Home page, so you will know where things are.

          Here is a link to Class 1:

                  Final version. Here's the story. The butterfly in the upper corner is for my daughter, Leah, who died six years ago. The smaller butterfly I'm looking at is for my granddaughter, Bella. The two on my shoulder are for my two grandsons, Andrew and Conrad. My hair is made up of words because of both my constant reading and my hyper active thoughts. The piano and music flower represent my current pursuit to learn the piano. The "quilt" background strips and collar, are for my love for quilting. The crotchet addition to my color, represents

                  my love of crocheting. My head band and top is made up of cats as I'm always covered in cat and dog hair. So, this is me....

                    fun, fun, fun. Should I quilt the face itself? Not sure if I like the puffiness with all the parts quilted down.

                        This project was out of my comfort zone but I decided to give it a try. I am pleased with the outcome. I particularly like the musatche and hair on my husband. Thanks Alex for presenting these projects in a way that encourages us to try something new.
