Norman Rockwell wallhanging. The pictures are tapestry panels so I had to use denium for the other fabric.

I started these three when the kids were small and added to them as they got bigger. I put the last handprint on during their senior year.

Lee I absolutely LOVE your work! The kids handprints is something I wish I would have done with the youngest 5 grandkids. Did you start them at school age? If so I still could do that.

I think it was around kindergarten age for the youngest. The oldest was at least in 7th grade so I looked for all his old artwork to find handprint art that I could trace. I slso used the footprint from their babybook. You might try fabric paint right on their hands onto the fabric. Might be easier and fun for them, too. :)

Neat idea! I too wished I had done something like that when my boys were little.

Thank You so Much Lee! The pinwheels are turning now by golly. LOL What a great gift this would be when it is completed, for the parents. Of course Grandma would have to do 1 for herself too. LOL
