Todays treasure is very special to me , when my granddaugther Aylssa was only eight years old she drew this Santa on a piece of construction paper with chalk and her Dad allowed me to take it home and trace it off and I made this wall hanging from her sketch . Alyssa was not aware that I was doing this . Every line on this Santa was hers , if you click on the picture to make it larger you will see some stitches I did around the eyes , she had those in her drawing as well as all the lines in the beard which I made individual pieces for .The only thing that is not in the original drawing is the holly leaves
I placed on his hat . Oh she also had added the snowflakes on the side so I embroidered those in . I think it is awesome not my work but her work , she has a lot of talent for eight years old don't you think ? She is now 15 and a musically talented young lady but I know deep inside is an artist just waiting for another opportunity to show the world .Love you Alyssa!

Sheila...now that is what I call a treasure...just lovely and your GD is very talented..
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful treasure and wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteI was only thinking today that maybe I should turn some of my nieces' drawings into stitcheries. She gives me at least one a week and I am running out of ideas of what to do with them all.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful treasure and have a fantastic week.
Definitely talented. It was great that you thought to capture that picture in fabric.
ReplyDeleteIt will now last a lifetime.
What a talented daughter you have. It was a great idea to make a more permanent version of her drawing. Her mother seems to be a bit talented herself.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and very special as well. Don't forget music is an art as well ;-) so she is still expressing herself artistically. It is great that you were able to turn her picture into a quilt.
ReplyDeleteHow special that you made it into a piece of everlasting family history - and - what a talented young lady. Last but not least - what a talented Grandmother :)
ReplyDeleteHe's quite lovely! She has talent!
