Description

I take a lot of photos of flowers, and this year had some of them printed onto fabric so that I could do thread art.  Here is the first one.

Hi Twiglet - I sent photos to fotosonfabric.com and she printed them for me. She has other size options, and she did a great job. I was quite pleased! Absolutely run with it the idea...I don't consider my idea so much as something I did. I did stabilize the back of the fabric photo first using the same lightweight knit stabilizer I use for t-shirt quilts, and did the thread art with the stabilized photo-fabric and batting. Then I attached the backing separately.

FotosOnFabric.comWe print your pictures onto fabric the way you want them. We can print seamless panels as wide as 58" and almost unlimited length. Limitless…

Did you print using a home printer? Do you mind if I copy your idea?

Thanks, Twiglet! It's about 11.5 inches tall and about 17.5 inches wide. The photo was printed to 12x18, but with the stitching, it shrunk down a tad.
