My 7 year old son (never stop going) Emmanuel made two pictures. He then asked me to make them into quilts. The house was made the exact same size using a copy of his picture as templates. The second one I just used as inspiration and guide. He "allowed" me to change the leaves because he wanted a tulip but drew the leaves of a rose and also he let me add some trapunto around the frame.

What a fun thing to do.

Those are great, and I love the fact that he asked you to make them in quilts. I think you have a budding fabric artist in the house

How awesome is that. Such a treasure.

What a fun idea. I'm going to see my grandchildren this week, I think I will see if they want to do this. I love your quilt hanger on the first one :)

Is actually a pant hanger. I put it there to display and ended up keeping it there. I like how it looks.

Beautiful. You two make a great team.

WOW!!

What a wonderful quilt. That will be so fun to hang proudly!

That is amazing. What a wonderful mama you are. He's a lucky lad. :-D

Oh, how fun that had to be.

that is so wonderful!!!!!

Spending time with a child is never wasted time. It is cherished memories for both.
I like the way he blocks turned out. Keep up with the good ideas

What keepsakes!

How WONDERFUL for both of you. He will remember this experience for his whole life.

What a wonderful way to preserve his artwork. I think you may have inspired many Moms and Grandmas to do the same with their kids/grandkids. You did a great job and you have a very special quilt designer. :-D

How precious

What a super thing for you to do! He will be so proud some day. I wish I were talented enough to go through some of the pictures I have from my boys and grandkids and do something like this.... I may try, but doubt I have the talent you do. Thanks so much for the pics and sharing - and ideas too even if I feel totally intimidated.

What an awesome son and mom you guys are! Wonderful pics and quilts!!! I've been making things with my DGD this week since they're visiting from IN. I'm so glad that my DD thought to bring some special projects for all of us to do together!

How sweet..

That is too cool. What a great mom you are.

How adorable! What a memory for both of you!. And what a fun project!

They're both immensely charming. You did an awesome job of capturing and interpreting his artwork.

Awwww those are very special quilts!!! Great teamwork :D:D:D

what a great idea!

wow both works r wonderful

Wow! Wonderful!

Awesome!!!

Those are fantastic. And what treasures.

Great idea!

Those are absolutly fabulous! What a great inspiration!
Love the tulip quilt! Out of the minds of babes.......

What a great way to keep their work :thumbup:

It looks to me like he has designed a great block for the funky neighborhood swap!

What a great idea he had and what a great job you did.

Those are wonderful!!!! What a great idea!!!!!

They both are just wonderful!! You did a great interpretation of your son's drawings!! Has he drawn his next picture for you to make a quilt?? :D

that is a wonderful job you did to his wonderful pictures. A budding artist there. Please tell him I like his work. You did an excelent copy of the house.

He has. Now he wants every picture to be made into a quilt. I will make a few more because I plan to offer it as a service on my web page. Two friends have already asked me to make quilts out of their kids drawings. Isn't it great? Every quilt is an unique piece. That is what I have been doing mostly so far. I rarely do a pattern as intended, and now my designers are very special little people.

How sweet! I love that he asked you to make it into little quilts.

What an awesome idea!!!! Do you mind if I steal it? I'd love to do one with my grands.
