Guide Review - Photo Fun - Print Your Own Fabrics for Quilts and Crafts
I was so excited to read this book. I am a quilter who likes to dabble in scrapbooking and paper crafts so the projects offered in this book are a great way to tie both crafts together.

Besides several creative projects, this book teaches you how to capture images and create your own printed fabric using those images. There is a section about using digital photos and also a section about how to successfully scan a variety of pictures and even 3-D objects. On printed on to fabric, which is explained in detail, the possibilities are endless!

The specific projects in this book include a variety of quilts featuring photos and also scanned items printed onto fabric. It also includes a couple of projects I want to make for my craft room, such as a lamp shade featuring a variety of scanned tape measures and a pin cushion made using fabric made from a scan or fun, antique buttons.

I really liked this book and want to try every project in it. If you enjoy sewing, quilting or scrapbooking, you will like it too! I also went out and got a second, related book titled More Photo Fun. Good stuff!
