Hi Ladies Has anyone heard of this method tracing a picture then colring them and using freezer paper tranfering them to material. I seen a quilt that I liked and wanted to know excatly how it was done. Lollie
Sounds great - and the pictures?
My standard answer--someday I will get my web page organized so I can show pictures. It is much more fun making quilt tops than arranging photographs. Notice I said "making quilt tops" since the only way quilts are finished at my house is if they are for a gift so sent out to be quilted.
The nicest coloring project I did was from the book "fat quarter small quilts" by Darlene Zimmerman. The picture is Boo Peep and her sheep framed in 30's fabrics. The instructions tell you to use the same thread on all the outline stitching but I matched the thread color to the crayon color. The pillow was a sample at The Quilt Merchant in Winfield, Illlinois for a year and everyone loved it. The crayon colors had not faded after having sat in the bright shop for a year.
I also used this technique with the ladies at the nursing home. They colored Sunbonnet Sue drawings. I outlined their drawings in black ink. The advantage of drawing first in water erasible marker and then outlining in pigma pen after the drawings are colored is you can "correct" the drawing a little. Sorry to say by the time I finished the quilt most of the ladies had forgotten they had colored the pictures. Most of them are "city girls" and don't know Sunbonnet Sue. They called the drawings "dollies". This would be a great way to include children of multiple ages in a project.
