I wanted to share an adorable little quilt that I made for my Father’s birthday:

It’s of my Brother, from a photograph of him at my wedding.  Here’s a closeup:

It’s fabric paint, watercolor pencils, pen, and machine stitching.

Thanks for stopping by!

  • Gosh, I can’t even make a regular quilt, much less take a photo and quilt a work of art. This looks like something you’d see in a museum. Gorgeous!
