This is from the Prisma website: Can Prismacolor Colored Pencils be used on fabric?

The Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils were not designed for use on fabric. Since they are waxed based pencils, they probably won’t hold up to washing and drying; however, some of the pigments used in the colored pencils MAY stain clothing.

from me: So, just don't plan on washing, maybe frame it! Your drawing is very beautiful!

Just gorgeous. Iris are my favorites and I love putting them in my quilts. Love the frame too

Great work or Art, Cuppi. You'll figure out how to quilt the outside edges once you have it in your machine. You can experiment & I'm sure it's gonna be even more sensational when it's finished. It's so relaxing to color on paper. I'll have to try on fabric, too.

Love seeing what others can draw or paint...good job!!

Yes I saw that on their website too, that's why I said I didn't know if it would hold up to washing. I have never washed any of my wall hangings so doubt if I would this one. Thanks for looking it up for me.
