This is an original quilt that I made from a photograph that I took of my son's hands while he was playing the guitar.

I gave this to him for his high school graduation. Of all of the wonderful gifts he received, this is the only one that "choked him up".

Everything but the background was plain fabrics. Any shading is ink, pastels, ect.

Outstanding Work!

Such a special gift for your son. My own children each requested their own needlework project when I was cross stitching so much. One even took his to school to show his friends. Can you just imagine a teenage boy taking something like that to school? Bet your son was just as proud. I am sure he will always treasure this special gift.

sewnsewer2 05-18-2010 08:57 PM

WOW! I can see why he choked up. GREAT JOB!
