Last Wednesday the "photos for Quilts" began. It is a small class and that gives everyone more "teacher time", whether they need it or not. I was so excited about doing photos again I went to work over the weekend with an idea that had been floating around in my head using old family photos. The photo at the top is the result. Since most of the photos were rather small the size they could be enlarged to was limited. It was my challenge to arrange them in a meaningful way. I used a photo of a house to do a sketch that I enlarged and dye painted and drew for the background. I made silk screens of a family group sheet in my grandmothers hand writing and a pedigree chart for my grandfathers family to add to the background. It has turned out well.
Can't wait to finish it and share it with you.
