Her hand prints are at the top and her footprints on the bottom. And those are pictures of her spanning the 4 years of her life :-)
Perhaps you are right Pattis--maybe we should start an early group to "encourage" others to join and have fun lol

I just LOVE this!! You know one of the things I love about this board is that I am always learning new things. I have never heard of "ribbon embroidery" but i just love it!!! Please tell me it isn't really terribly hard.....I would love to learn! Thanks for showing us such a beautiful row!

When I decided to do a garden row, she asked me if I was going to put in a little girl. At first I didn't know what she was talking about but then she reminded me of the card. Well, I made a copy of the card and added a picture of my daughter when she was 3 months old and then added ribbon embroidery flowers and a bee on the sides of her and then ended up with 2 paper pieced birdhouses on each end. This is the first time I have ever done ribbon embroidery and learned it from a book. Needless to say, it is not perfect but I like it!! I still need to applique the holes on the birdhouses and maybe add another bee, dragonfly and butterfly. I will probably darken the words on the card center with my pigma pen, but I might wait until it gets back. Let me know what you think. I can always do something else.
