That did turn out really nice. Will crayons really transfer to fabric? Do you color a page of paper then flip it on to the fabric to get it there?

Very pretty, and done with a new- to - me technique. Will have to try it though. Is it machine washable when using the crayons?

So you color directly on the fabric. Heating it melts the crayons slightly and helps saturate the color. Then you heat set.

It can be washed but I would hang it to dry and I would wash it alone. I have heard that the colors fade some after wsshing to a nice pastel.

Beautifully done! Your applique stitching is perfect. For the crayon work, did you use a specific tutorial or read about the process, then do your thing? You've made me want to try this.

Very pretty, I did Sun Bonnet Sue with Crayons. A shop owner in Oklahoma took the time while I was in her shop to show me how to do it. It truley is fun to do.

That's interesting! I need to investigate this technique.

Oh, and I love your wall-hanging - it is really nice!
