Art Quilts

Just before Christmas, I discovered Donna Downey's website  and found her art quilt tutorial which I felt like I really, really just had to do. It was a combination of quilting and scrapping, which of course is a perfect combination. I ended up making two - one for my 8 year old son, and my 3 year old daughter.

 

Well, of course as soon as they saw these, they decided they wanted red and green ones too. So I decided to make them a set of three each, and modify them a little. This is some home made art work for their walls.

I ended up binding each one of them with a kiddy fabric and I will put a sleeve on the back of each and pass a small dowel through the back and hang them up in their bedrooms.

I really love the idea of mixed media journaling and art work. I am looking forward to doing more of it.
