Preserving A Child's Artwork
First I took a photo of the art I wanted to preserve. Then using my computer reduced them to the size I wanted and printed them in black and white on regular copy paper.
Then I transfered the drawing onto prewashed and dried, white cotton muslin simply by placing the fabric on top of the drawing and tracing it lightly with a pencil. Holding the fabric and paper up to a window so the light shines through may be necessary if you can't see the print through the fabric.
Then I used embroidery stitches to fill in the artwork. If you haven't done embroidery and would like to try this wonderful craft click here for a link with easy to follow embroidery instructions by video.
I used strips of colored cotton material to boarder each piece of white artwork and then sewed them all together to make a quilt top. After machine quilting and binding - they were finished.
Here are some photo's of the finished quilts.
I love the children's artwork and the quilt will become even more valuable as they grow older.
