Margaret: I haven’t done a project with fabric pens. Sounds like you’re doing what I’d do though, backing the cotton fabric with freezer paper to stabilize so the kids can draw on it easily. I have printed on fabric that hasn’t been treated and run it through my ink jet printer. I’ve only done this for wall hanging small arty projects that I don’t anticipate ever washing. The treated cotton (either Printed Treasures or Cotton Textiles) just keeps the ink from running. I tested this out originally and yes the ink just washes out and bleeds all over when you print on un-treated fabric! Have fun with your project!

Thanks for all of the wonderful information. I’ve been looking for ways to incorporate my children’s artwork.

What inspiration! Also, thank you so much for clearing up all the image transfering options out there – I’ve been experimenting (unsuccessfully!) and thought it was just me. Your quilt is wonderful.

It must be serindipitous that you posted this. I am in the beginning stages of making said quilt for my son’s teacher. I have gone to the extent already to order fabric pens, but I am not sure that this is the easiest approach (or the neatest as they are permanent). Imagine 15 six year olds with 24 permanent pens?!… I’m wondering if you have any fabric pen experiences to share. Or if you have just ironed cotton fabric to freezer paper and printed (does this work worse than your expensive Printed Treasures stuff?

Wow! that is your quilt, huh? I was one of those googlers!!! I wanted to make a quilt for my daughter’s teacher and was perusing the internet. It was pretty much the inspiration for this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/upstatelisa/1859129192/
