Yes, they can be washed. I had to wash my mother in-laws..due to grandson and his chocolate. I used Oxiclean and cold water on the gentle cycle.

What a beautiful project. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for sharing. I have had the panel for several years and have just not been brave enough to get started. You have inspired me. I love both sewing, quilting and genealogy. Perfect project.

It makes a special quilt! I want to do the same one of these days so that I have memory of family after Mom passes. This is very nice! Thank you for the info and tutorial.

Yes I have orders for two right now. I won't take anymore than two orders at a time.

I am wondering if you ever have washed any of your Family Tree quilts? Would these pictures, writing, etc. that are fused like this ever bleed or run? It looks like you printed these on fusible fabric sheets and applied directly to the tree panel without rinsing or washing first. So, I am curious about whether these quilts could be washed or are just to look at (wall hanging). Thank you.

I have not washed any of my family memory quilts, but I did one for my sister using the fabric sheets with pictures of her cat...she washed it several times over a 3 year period and just a few months ago, she did say that one of the pictures no longer looked good. So I guess to answer your question, too much washing I guess would ruin any quilt..

What a treasure!!! Thanks for sharing!
