I got these two panels from the Scrap Exchange in Durham a couple of months ago for just $3. When I saw them I knew I had to have them. The question now is what to do with them? Any ideas??????

I would but fabric markers and color them and make a wholecloth .

I would have a blast painting that!

I think I would embroider them

If you want heirloom, embroider them, otherwise, fabric paint them. They are gorgeous!

Henry, this is an awesome find!!! Are these all cotton or a blend? If they are all cotton I would use fabric markers to color them in and they would be beautiful wallhangings. If they are a blend, the markers may not work as well, you could do some thread painting on them. Have fun with these treasures :D:D:D

I was looking at them again, and you can also have a lot of fun with the quilting in these...accenting parts, outlining...Woo Hoo....so many possibilities :D:D:D

How big are they?

Henry I love them!! I'm not sure what I'd do but I'd either paint or quilt them and then hang them on the wall. What a great buy-good luck and please show us what you end up doing.

What fun! I'd go mixed media - markers for finest details, and embellish with all sorts of things, like buttons, tiny silk flowers, and such. Look up "Painted Ladies" to get some color suggestions.
