Ann, would you consider a suggestion from a great-grandmother? Your son's
sweetheart sounds wonderful, and she sounds like she has decorating ideas of
her own. I'll bet she would really enjoy being involved in the design of the
wallhanging.
We have things on display in our home that my sisters have given me.
Because I love my sisters dearly, I keep these things and enjoy them. They
make my precious siblings seem a bit closer. But, would I keep them around
if they had not been chosen by my sisters? Probably not.
You have an opportunity to double the joy of making the wallhanging. If
you're going to make it, you might as well let it be something you will be
certain she'll treasure. Polly

Hullo Ann
I just had a look on Google:Images:Unicorn
Just the first page was wonderful. You are sure to find one you would
like to do, there. You might just enjoy exploring the pages!
I have used pictures from Google:Images, a lot. If they are a bit too
complex (though there are some simpler ones on the first page), I print
the picture out, then trace from that picture , if it is the right size;
or get it enlarged to the right size and then trace it. Tracing it cuts
out a lot of the unnecessary parts of a picture. Good luck, have fun.
Sounds like a lovely project.

Living in a small town we don't get into the big city of Edmonton much,
at
least have spare time but tomorrow we are going in and I told DH I want
to
go window shopping at a fabric shop I've never been before. They have a
website and looks like a place to go.

I have nothing in particular to buy so want to just look. Although I do
want to make my DS girlfriend a wallhanging. She's been busy painting
and
fixing up DS condo. We own it, son lives there. She painted the living
room and hallway mauve. Son has black furniture and fixtures and she has
made it look very nice there. She's done a lot of labour and deserves a
treat.

The wallhanging I want to do is made in my mind, now to just design it.
I've been waiting to find the perfect picture of a unicorn (her fav
animal).
I want to applique on a midnight purple fabric, whether it be one/two
diff
piece or a colour wash of a night sky. So I want to look for that type
of
printed fabric tomorrow.

Anyone know of a basic picture for download on the net for a unicorn (or
horse and I could add a horn myself)? Haven't found *the one* yet.

After hitting the fabric store it's off to my DS. He dropped his key
ring
between the condo outside wall and his steps, so we have to take jacks
and
crowbars etc, move the steps to retrieve his keys. then move the steps
back
and level. Anyone care to help?? LOL

Then it's off to the football game. Our other DS will come over to help
with
the steps and we will all go to the football game. Sounds like it's
shaping
up to be a perfect Saturday.......fabric, sons, and football.

Everyone have a great weekend too.

Ann
