Title: pattern request
Post by: cdrover(Clyde) on November 04, 2013, 08:15:30 pm

Here are pictures of our newly adopted grandchildren. I want to make portraits of them for Christmas. Would you wonderful pattern makers out there have a go at them for me. I need to practice the art of making patterns but I want a good job so I will leave it to a professional. I am not sure if the pictures are workable, if not let me know and I will try to get others. Thanks.

Hi Clyde, I can hardly DRAW my pension never mind a pattern, but they are two lovely kids and I'm sure they will bring you a lot of joy. Hope someone can help you out.
Rob Roy.

We got to know them this past August. They are darings, and we treasure them. We know our son and their mom will give them a safe and happy home.they saw a portrait I did of our other granddaughter and wanted me to do theirs. So that is my plan. I hope we can get a good pattern, Ron has one done already. I hope I get one of Cole. I know the pictures are not the greatest. Thanks for your comments and interest.

The deed is done, I finished the cutting a few days ago. They turned out fantastic, I have no problem presenting these to the kids for Christmas. Thanks to all those who rose to the challenge, there were some super patterns considering what you had to work with. I choose Ray's version, Thanks Ray. Some of us  :( would be in a sad state of affairs if were not for you guys  ;), Thanks again
