This small quilt was made with left-over fabrics from quilts I've made and I wanted to experiment with alcohol markers on fabric.
One a piece of cream cotton fabric I stamped Altenew's Paeonia Japonica stamp with Ranger's Jet Black Archival ink. I colored the image with Altenew's artist markers in Soft Lilac, Lavender Fields, Deep Iris, Frayed Leaf, Forest Glade, Evergreen, and Warm Sunshine.
I quilted the piece and then added tiny black seed beads to the center of the blooms. I was wondering if the markers would "bleed" across the fabric threads, but they did not and so I was quite happy with it.
This shows you can use your stamps in other ways besides cards! I am entering this into Altenew's August Sewing Contest. Hope you like it!

Lovely idea. If you washed it, would the alcohol marker colouring still remain?
Yes, and to be sure of that I heat set it with the iron.
Work of art! So glad that you entered the sewing contest!
It's beautiful!!
Fantastic project Liz!

Gorgeous quilt. Seed beading really adds a nice touch!
