    Default Need Suggestions - Gift for My Son

    Hello All,

    I just thought this would be the best place to come for ideas I need. My son is in his 40's, and besides his regular job he does professional photography. He and his wife can pretty much buy whatever they want or need. I want to make him something special. Something just for him, and his interest in photography. I am thinking a special wall hanging or something on that line that is like a compliment to him from his mom.(ME) lol...He is one that likes knowing the thought behind the gift. He treasures things like that. Any thoughts at all I would appreciate, or even if you know of where I can buy some fabric that would be great for this.

    Thanks Everyone
    Merry Christmas!

    I can't find a link to the pattern but there are some wonderful quilts that look like strips of film, with photos in them

    Just made this mug rug for my friend. She bought the fabric at Hobby Lobby. On the selvage edge, it is printed exclusively for Hobby Lobby
