Fabric painting workshop

Our quilt group had a fabric painting night. We were to paint a small picture. About A4 size. Then needed to embellish it.


Nothing very special yet. Now I am to stitch over it and embellish it. This is not what I do best but I do like to take part in my groups activities.

Anyway,  early last year my grandsons, then aged 11 & 9, drew me a picture for when they came up on holidays. COVID hit and they never got that holidays. A few months later when they could travel they gave it to me. A very pretty flower.. signed and dated. How special am I.


My friend loved the colours and the idea came to her that she could use this for her fabric painting class. So here it is. She made a beautiful wall hanging. With 3D leaves, lace and glitter. She even put a fabric tag on it so the boys can sign it.


So here they both are side by side.


Maxine you did a wonderful job.
Thank you

Your grandson’s picture is beautiful and your friend is amazing, doing a super job depicting it in fabric. Nicholas will be thrilled too I would imagine.

Fabric painting - fun fun fun.
I have a few boxes in the shed with paints and dyes for fabics. Those were fun chapters in my life.
