Five Techniques for Painting Fabric

I learned a lot while painting these fabrics so there are plenty of things I may do differently even though I really like the results. A couple of the techniques I will absolutely make again, probably for use behind embroidery work.

Here again are the painted fabrics in the giveaway and the video is below.

And here are the 6.5 inch squares (96 of them), also in the giveaway.

I hope you’ll share this post with anyone you know who may be interested in a chance to win either of these fabric bundles.

Reminder – The giveaway/sweepstakes ends on December 27, 2021, and I’ll post the two winner’s names on this blog December 29th, so if you’ve entered, please check to see if you are a fabric winner.

Here is my How-to video…

Happy Winter Solstice!

By Ann Scott

I started sewing and designing using fabric, thread, and paper when I was a child. I taught myself to make quilts, at first not following the "rules," then watched some experts, learned the rules, and made many hand quilted and appliqued quilts. I spent years focusing on miniature landscape quilts. Now I am a fiber and mixed media artist and that encompasses everything I have a passion for. I have taught, lectured, and my work have show nationally and internationally, some pieces have been published.

  1. I learned a lot from your experiments, too. Never would have thought of a furnace filter. Alas, the only ones I can play with are dirty. And the ochre streaks are great. It’s amazing how layers build up a complex surface after a sometimes sparse start

  2. Thank you. Yes, it is amazing. I hesitate when it comes to painting layers because I’m always thinking about how I’ll quilt through them, and that is a shame because I think layers make the best art!

  5. I loved seeing how different the fabrics looked depending on the painting technique. Thanks for the inspiration!
