    Default Art Pics Repurposed

    My girls took art lessons for years when they were young, and of course, I still have each and every one. Scanned them and uploaded to Spoonflower to print "swatches". I was gonna make a memory quilt, but then I tried one picture made into a hot pad...then had to make one from other DD's drawings! That lead me to a cozie. Any other suggested projects welcomed!
    (PS. I found that the horizontal stitching lines help the hot pads "fold" when grabbing hot objects.)

    What fun! Those are adorable. If you had them enlarged, they would make stunning pillows.

    I can see purses, centers on the backs of jackets or on the front, window curtains with multiple pics included, small pouches and what about appliques on jeans or fun bloomy type beachwear bottoms? Another idea, scarves for Covid masks. I had forgotten that Spoonflower would do that type service. I wish I had more of my kid's works to try this out on.

    I have thought about Spoonflower for a long time and now see that they did a beautiful job on your fabric! Maybe a couple mug rugs or even place mats and a table runner would work good with this unbelievable fabric.
