DIY Project – Signed Fabric Squares
This next is so thoughtful, I just had to share it with you. Signed Fabric Squares that can then be stitched into a quilt or a great wall hanging. I never would have thought of this idea, and yet I absolutely love it.
Instructions
1. Draw or design the background pattern, leaving a place for signing
2. Go to your local t-shirt shop and ask them to make a screen (or, they could do the whole printing, really)
3. Wash and dry 100 percent cotton fabric–it could be any color, but light enough to see the pen.
4. Get some textile ink from any common craft store.
5. Cut your fabric to pieces larger than area to be screened.
6. Lay down screen, place some ink, and use a squeegee to pull the ink across the openings (there are many excellent web tutorials for this part).
7. Make sure you have plenty of extra fabric–and make a few more than you think you’ll need.
8. Have guests sign them with Micron pigma pens in whatever color you like.
this is a very different idea and a wonderful keep say that will actually be used instead of the lost guest book that no one finds!
Wow - so unique of an idea! Never would have thought of something like this. A really nice alternative to the ordinary guest book.
I love this idea too! My mom and mother in law did this for us at our wedding :) All of our guests signed the quilt squares and they are making it in to a wall hanging for us :)
A friend of mine did this at her wedding and I thought it was absolutely adorable. Not being a quilt person myself, I'm going to pass on this idea. But I truly adore the creativity behind it.
