How's it going, it's a lovely idea

I also think the Batikis will look wonderful, good luck.

I'd like to do it in batiks. Just need to go traveling to quilt shops. I should have gone on a several hour trip to Keepsake Quilting. They had a fat quarter sale on batiks today. 25$ for 20 fats. Jan

Thanks Lorchen, my daughter did it a few years ago and she's almost 16 now. She says she wonders how she did it so well. Sometimes she is amazed, other times frustrated. Any way I want to do it for her. She will appreciate it. My son didn't when I did his wall quilt from his drawing. I even tried to surprize him at Christmas. Oh, Well. You can see it on my profile. Lol, Jan

Ooops..... sent the last message too quickly. I also wanted to say: I have turned drawings of children into needlework pieces in the past. If they were finished off as wallhangings, I incorporated a pocket on the back and popped the original artwork and some details about the young artist in the pocket. That way the 'connection' hopefully won't get lost.

That's a lovely drawing, Jan!

Thanks, Margo. I think the inks would be cheaper than individual fat quarters. Besides my LQS and Joann's don't seem to have much of a variety of batiks. The economy has to be hard on fabric stores. Jan

Jan, you might try Fabric Inks: http://www.jukeboxquilts.com/store/allPurposeInks.php

Any suggestions on how to do this? I think batiks and hand-dyes would work; Or plain cloth and markers or paints. Any suggestions on the kind of paints or markers that would work? Thanks, Jan

I want to post a photo of my daughter's drawing that I want to make into a wall quilt.
