I've had this stashed away in my "To Do Basket" as an idea for a crazy quilt gift for my Mother-In-Law. It is her only photo of her mother (the woman sitting) who died when she was born. So this photo is very special to her. I've been wanting to do this project for some time and today I got the motivation to do it! I will not use the glass in the final project just the frame.
Here is the pieced project! I used colors of gold and I want it to have an old fashioned feel to it. The lace at the top is antique that Jill gave to me! I think it adds to the feel of it!
I also used a print and put the words "the greatest of these is love" in just the right spot! The silkie was made from the old photo that I fixed in Photo Shop since it had a big crack in it before and then
Pat Winter made it into the silkie for me!

Wow, what a wonderful idea! This is a lovely way to really dress up vintage photos so that they become focal points in a room. Here's yet another great idea that I must add to my "to-do" list (which keeps getting longer, LOL)
I'm sure your gift will be deeply treasured.
I am so not a crafty person of this caliber, but it always inspires me to see such beautiful creativity :)
