Jack and Ava

This is grandson Jack and granddaughter Ava. They are the typical siblings who get in each others way but always take up for one another when needed. Once scanned into photo shop it is converted to gray scale then goes thru a series of filters and "clean up". I then made a template to use to cut out my pieces in black and sewed them onto my light fabric. Another way is once you get the silhouette you want to use print it out on fabric,back it with some batting and stitch around the black edges instead of making a template, cutting pieces out and sewing the on individually. You can find complete directions in the June/July 2011 issue of Quilting Arts magazine.

Hank in Silhouette

This is grandson, Hank, or "The Hankster" as I like to call him. This is a baby picture, but he is six years old now and full of joy and love. Again, the silhouette is a photo shop image I did from the original photo. Wish I had taken pictures of the finished product but you get the idea. Isn't he precious?!!!

Silhouettes

The top photo is of my grandson, George when he was younger. I scanned the photo into photo shop, converted it to gray scale, then adjusted it with filters. I used black and white fabric to complete the silhouette. The silhouette here isn't the fabric one. It is the template from the photo. Isn't he cute?!!!
