I just returned from Florida where I visited my 90 yo mom as well as my son
and his family. While there, I was able to get pictures of family "hands".
The pictures included one hand of my mom, me, our DIL and our grand
daughter - four generations. Then I took one of my DH, my son and our
grandson. They will each be framed along with pictures of the people. I
had always wanted to do these and finally had the chance to do so. The
hands were photographed against a large piece of black fabric from my quilt
stash.
I will post these on my website and will let you know when they are posted
if you're interested in seeing them. If you have multiple generations and
the opportunity to do this, it may be something you'd like to plan.

That's a great idea, Alice. I wish I had thought of that before Grandpa
passed. His hands were quite interesting, and it would have been a unique
way to create a memory.
Didn't someone start a project like that years ago within RCTQ? Or maybe I'm
having another brain burp!

No, I seem to remember that too but didn't remember it until you reminded
me.

If I'm not mistaken it was Leslie (and the furbabies)
that tried to get a hands project going. I don't think
we were helpful to her.

I remember doing an applique' of my hand in red on white and signing it and
sending it to someone. It was...maybe 7 or 8 years ago?
