Quick Tips: Using Children’s Artwork in Quilts
National Sewing Circle EditorsDescription
Involve the kiddos in the crafting studio using this idea from Mary Beth Temple. By investing in pastels or markers designed for use on fabric, your little ones can get involved in the creative process. Pre-wash and iron your fabric and let the kiddos draw their very own artwork on the fabric. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions to make the designs permanent, and incorporate the fabric into a quilt or garment to immortalize a moment in their childhood.

Hi, I'm Mary Beth Temple. And if you want more time to quilt and you have kids who want something to do, I highly recommend investing in some markers or some pastels that are designated specifically for use on fabric. If you pre wash your fabric and iron it and give it to your little ones to create master works on, you can follow the manufacturer's instructions to make that artwork permanently colored. You can incorporate it into your work as a quilter or a garment. So and immortalize a moment in time where your kids were happily coloring in your studio.
