Portrait quilts?

Good Friday morning;
It's been a few days since I've check in here. Hoping "things" are well with our friends all over the world. We are excited that the weatherman say COOLER weather is coming soon. Supposedly the temp. is going to drop to the low 80's during the day and 50's at night. That is cooler for us. Welcome fall.
Anyone ever done a portrait quilt-you know where you take a picture of a child, pet, friends, and somehow make it into a stunning wall hanging? I've been looking on the web for a DVD and book for instructions. Bonnie McCaffery seem to have some, and a few others. I'd really like to take a class, Marilyn Wall has one of Fabricating Faces in March, but it is in N.C.
My DH is having a booth in the local home and patio show downtown this weekend. I think he is going to give himself a stroke-lack of sleep, no exercise, stressed out. He is still determined to buy a condo at Jacks. beach, which is supposed to "close" soon. The bank has been saying soon for 3 months, it is a short sale. Then it has to be totally re-done from the ceiling to the floor, new tile, etc. I've come to believe that we all need projects. Mine are smaller and in fabric, his are large.
Going to watch to morning weather report.
