another condolence portrait
 

I don't send sympathy cards - I make quilts.
Taking the photo from the obit, I create a portrait on a fat quarter to give to the family.
This is John, hubby of one of the quilters in our employee quilt show.

very thoughtful and creative.

For me with little artistic ability, I find your ability to translate a picture into cloth AMAZING

I also find your talent intriguing! What a wonderful memorial.

I'm certain people would rather have a sympathy card from me! I could never create something as wonderful as you have.

That is beautiful! So thoughtful to share your talent that way.

Very nice!

What a beautiful gift you have given.

fantastic work

wow what a fantastic idea

Very thoughtful gift, much better than a card or flowers. You have talent too!!

Amazing rememberance for the family

I am astounded at your ability to transfer pictures to quilts. You are very talented.

That is wonderful.....do you use snips of fabric to do the portrait, or is it some type of pen or pencil? If it's fabric, is it fused applique? It really is interesting!!

What a wonderful, thoughtful tribute.

Oh my word. I bet you make people cry!! that is wonderful!!

Oh wow! What a beautiful pic and a beautiful memory! Great work!

This is amazing! What a thoughtful idea and sweet use of your talent.

Wow, that is really nice.

That is wonderful......long after the last card has been read/forgotten, your memorial will there. A great idea.
