I love this wall hanging of my grandkids' silhouettes. I have it hanging in my living room and never get tired of looking at it.

Yes I made it. I took photos of each grandchild to show their personality and used them for patterns. It didn't take real long, maybe a week or 10 days.

MamaBear61 02-08-2011 06:34 AM

That is very cute.

Dandish 02-08-2011 06:41 AM

That is very, very nice. What a great idea and wonderful work.

They do love it. When they come over, they usually stare at it for a few minutes.

JEM65 02-08-2011 07:24 AM

That is just darling! I want to look at it all the time too!

MrsM 02-08-2011 08:12 AM

How beautiful and creative!

You just gave me a really good idea for a quilt for my husband who is a scuba diver. I have a great underwater sihoulette photo of him...HUMMMMMMM together with some tropical fish and coral on the bottom could be just the thing. Thank you! Your quilt is wonderful and very inspiring.

Ditter43 02-08-2011 08:20 AM

You did such a great job!!! I love the idea...hmmmmm :thumbup: :D :thumbup:

love it

Bluebonnet Sue 02-08-2011 08:39 AM

Oh, I do really, really like this wallhanging. What a special piece. I know why they love it too. What kind of applique did you do on this? It looks rather detailed. I thought about doing just traditional silhouettes, but had not considered something as detailed as this...until now. Hummmm

belmer 02-08-2011 08:55 AM

Wow... such a wonderful idea. Great job!

I just did a raw edge applique.

Yes, I traced them from photos that I printed out.

bailey 02-08-2011 11:22 AM

I would never tire of looking at it either. Beautiful wallhanging. Going back to have another look... LOL

Dollysquiltingmom 02-08-2011 11:23 AM

Beautiful!!!

bjnicholson 02-08-2011 11:26 AM

That is such a great idea. I think I might try it with my 2 GD's. They live in Miami FL and I'm in Cleveland OH. It would be like having them with me all the time! I love yours :idea:

MaRanda 02-08-2011 12:01 PM

This is terrific! I love the old fashioned style of silhouettes- and so cool that is it your own grandkids.
