Hi all! I don't want to open a shop, just an online shop. I collect antique and vintage postcards and create my own fabric out of that. I make sure of the copyright issue, and when in doubt, will hire a artist to repaint the picture "after the work of", and sidestep any legal problems. I like having the oil painting of the work in my house, and I like being able to have it printed for friends that want to use it in their quilt projects. Hopefully, sometime this Fall, I will get a website up to share what I do and encourage others that are interested in doing their own fabric to do so. I have found a couple of great fabric printers and use Fabric On Demand. Unbelievable customer service!!! And their product is quite good! So, I can print my design panels and make a profit. I would hate to be real big and do this. I guess this is just a way to share what you love with others. I don't know if there is a way to post pictures, or, if I did know how, I could post some of the vintage art pieces that people like. I hate to see this art be forgotten, so that is why I incorporated it into my quilting!
