Fabric ATCs

My Journal Quilt Class at The City Quilter has come to an end.  At least for now.  And at the last class we swapped ATCs.  I had fun making mine...

...and even more fun swapping and getting to take home a little piece of art from each of my students!

To make mine I started with some muslin and stitched a flower pattern.

Then I painted the flower pattern with acrylic paint and a lot of water (so that the paint would bleed everywhere).

Then I cut the large piece into 2.5"x3.5" ATC size pieces.

I stitched around the edges, overdyed some of the remnants from the orginal piece, and embellished each of the ATCs with the overdyed remnants.  Check it out:

Thanks for stopping by!
