    I used fabric paint and Bic markers. The paint on the lady bugs has a little glitter in it. I have found that Tulip paint by Duncan has a soft hand and is washable after heat setting and curing.

    I think the lady bugs would make a cute summer tablecover. Maybe with some prairie points on the edges in red.

    How about taking the scraps of those wonderful fabrics and framing them (like 4"x4") for your kitchen or sewing area?

    They'd also be great to sell at a craft fair.
    Thank you for sharing your talent with us! pal

    You are incredible!

    You are a beacon for us who want to try out our "own" thing but don't have the expertise (or nerve) that you do. Thanx for sharing...
