It is more gorgeous in real life. She took photos and transferred them on fabric.
She took snaps (left bottom, counterclockwise) of our wedding party, our rings, us eating cake, Heather & Sean's wedding photo, family photo of all of us last year, us with our parents, us with his grandmother's, my mom & dad and last but not least my MIL & her husband. I will always cherish it, everytime I look at it, it still brings tears to me.
She is making a quilt for each grandchild starting with the oldest. She finished one for my niece and it is just as gorgeous. She used images of childhood memories. It is sew cool.
I did find a base for one of the scissor frogs at the flea market Saturday. I also found a really cool frame too, you should see what I want to do with it. I will have it ready to post next time.
