My intent was to create a piece that reflected her life. I am just a part of that. Size wise, I don't really care how big the story board would be. Thanks Tomsunnu, this could be a part of the puzzle. Just thinking that if several patterns or partial patterns are created I may be able to cut and paste them into one larger pattern. This could be a first, having several artists contribute to one pattern. Thanks for your input.

It is a terrible disease to say the least. Just a note to pattern makers, I listed out a ton of things that I thought would or could be included. This is my wish list. I do not expect anyone to attempt to include all of these suggestions. Maybe a common theme to show her just how much she has accomplished in her life. To survive to be sixty when her life expectancy at time of diagnosis was less than ten years says a lot about the person she is. Thanks again.

Well I guess it is not special. It is not even good. But to survive as an insulin dependent type 1 diabetic for 56 years needs to be recognized. My wonderful wife was diagnosed when she was just 3 years old. She has learned and lives by the rule, " you control your diabetes or it controls you". I want to cut something very special for her. She works so hard at management and is an inspiration to others. I do know things could go haywire tomorrow morning so it is important that I get to work. Some things I would like to see could and I say (could include) you may know other things that would be suitable.
the type1 diabetic ribbon
The name Fredrick Banting
An old type glass insulin needle
A modern pump (animas) is the name of her pump.
Our marriage date was 27/04/74
A cross, because she has a deep faith
The faces of two children, a boy and a girl. We had two children, we lost our girl as still born, she never got over that and our son is now 36. 19/09/74 under the girl and 21/05/77 under the boy.
A heart with I love you of some sort or a heart with an arrow maybe with our marriage date , because she is my world. Any of you creating designers out there up to the challenge. By the way her name is Maryanna. But her initials are MAJD.. I am thinking that all of these life events would be intermingled, a person would need to study the piece to see all the info. Boy I am good at coming up with a plan but not a clue as to how to bring it together. I know this is a very tall order and I want to thank anyone who is brave enough to give it a shot. If you have ideas please share. Clyde

Tiger Woods & Stevie Wonder are in a bar...
Tiger says Stevie, "How's the singing career going?"
Stevie replies, "Not too bad. How's the golf?"
...
Woods replies, "I've had some problems with my swing,
but I think I've got that right, now."
Stevie: "I always find that when my swing goes wrong,
I need to stop playing for a while and not think about it.
Then, the next time I play, it seems to be all right."
Incredulous, Tiger says, "You play GOLF?"
Stevie: "Yes, I've been playing for years."
Tiger: "But -- you're blind! How can you play golf if you can't see?"
Stevie: "Well, I get my caddy to stand in the middle of the fairway
and call to me. I listen for the sound of his voice and play the ball
towards him. Then, when I get to where the ball lands,
the caddy moves to the green or farther down the fairway and
again I play the ball towards his voice."
"But, how do you putt" asks Tiger.
"Well", says Stevie, "I get my caddy to lean down in front of the
hole and call to me with his head on the ground and I just play
the ball towards his voice."
Tiger: "What's your handicap?"
Stevie: "Well, actually -- I'm a scratch golfer."
Woods says to Stevie, "We've got to play a round sometime."
Stevie: "Well, people don't take me seriously, so I only play
for money, and never play for less than $10,000 a hole.
Is that a problem?"
Woods thinks about it and says, "I can afford that; OK,
I'm game for that.. $10,000 a hole is fine with me.
When would you like to play?"
Stevie: "Pick a night

Stack cutting will give a better cut to the middle pieces, as well I use these magnetic business cards for O clearance, works great and they stay in place.

I usually use the pot luck method, "whatever works at the time". sometimes I use a spot of glue other times I may use a small piece of doublesided tape. The end result is always the same, sand cut sand cut sand some more and voila a piece you are proud to say is your own.
