    Did you know you don’t have to buy those fancy fabric printer sheets ?

    I haven't tried this method, but it sounds interesting, not necessarily for bean bags though, for memory quilts.

    Has anybody done this? Would be interested in hearing what your results were.

    Thank you for sharing this. I think if you put pillow stuffing in it instead of the beans, it would make a great pillow.

    Visited the link today. That was something creative and definitely i want to make fabric print "bean bags" at least once.

    Thanks for link. That was something unusual and interesting too.

    i will definitely have to give this a try.

    a side note ... if i'm making a "bean bag" for any reason, i don't use beans, rice, or any other dried food product as stuffing. i use either small buttons, cheap beads from the dollar store, or something else along those lines. then i can safely toss it into the wash.

    Great idea for the buttons, PatriceJ. I have a million buttons; now I know what to do with them. I used to get those plastic pellets, but they are expensive. Thanks for the great idea.

    WOW. I just finished making a 50th Anniversary quilt for my brother and bought $75 worth of the "fancy fabric printer sheets". Now I know better. Thanks for the info.
