That's what I did to start off. I used a panel and just quilted around the pictures and then did some quilting in the background after marking it with a stencil.
I use two thimbles, the one on top has the rubber body with a metal tip, and the other one is all metal. I like to do it, but only for family, and only with strict instructions that the dog cannot sleep on it, lol. Gina
