Great idea!! I have made 3 wall hangings out of my beloved (me & for my DD & DS). (Pic is 1st I made-can't load). I gave to them this Christmas & they were soooo moved... My DD said she cried (he's been gone 13 yrs)..
Have also made 1 for a widow at my church (her hubby was an elder for many yrs). Have enough to make 4 more for her kids...
