Portrait Quilt

I wanted to share an adorable little quilt that I made for my Father's birthday:

It's of my Brother, from a photograph of him at my wedding.  Here's a closeup:

It's fabric paint, watercolor pencils, pen, and machine stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!

Very good idea and great project!

Gosh, I can't even make a regular quilt, much less take a photo and quilt a work of art. This looks like something you'd see in a museum. Gorgeous!

Photo A Day 2008

  • 06.15.08
    My goal is to take one photo a day, every day for 366 days (it's a leap year). The only rule is that I cannot edit the photos after taking them. No cropping, no playing with the levels. They are what they are. Click on any image to see a larger 4x6 view rather than the small square preview view and to read about what the image is.
