Since reading The Creative Family (by SouleMama), I’ve loved the idea of embroidering early childhood drawings onto fabric and preserving them in some way. A month or so ago, I saved a picture Lila drew (a picture of me!) and then embroidered it onto a piece of white cloth. Today I completed the project by sewing the embroidered picture onto a piece of denim (I left the edges to fray and even left the selvage edge intact … I like that unfinished look) and then sewing it onto some chenille that I made into a pillow cover. It’s a great accessory for the gameroom and a fun way to remember and enjoy Lila’s early drawings.

That is so sweet, Randi!! I love it!
That Lila – genius.
Oh, that is very cute!
You know, that will be a perfect handed down gift you can give her when she has her own children! Can’t you just imagine how sweet it would look in your grandchilds baby room?? (I know, I am an advanced planner so just planning some for you too! HA)
Oh, I really love that!! What a great idea! Hmmmm … something more for my To Do list!!
What a great memory! Love it.
love it!
So precious! I’m adding this to my “projects to try” file. Thanks for the inspiration!

Awwww…that’s so cool! I’m gonna have to do this for my nephew! 🙂
I think that this is the most adorable idea out there! What a beautiful way to preserve a moment of childhood – LOVE it!
I saw this over at CSI and I wanted to tell you how much I love it!!! As a former kindergarten teacher, I love the way their little minds see/draw people. Adorable! Plus, what a way to save and cherish! Nice job!
