Are the articles in the ebook new or are they reprinted from QA and CPS?

I have collected favorite inspirational quotes for many years and added entire quotes or a single powerful world to quilts, pillow covers, etc. This year I decided to experiment with rust-dying and created words using nails, screws, washers, staples, anything I could find...some of my results can be found here www.etsy.com/.../JonesFiberArt . As Helen mentions, I needed something that wouldn't wash away.

I use text on quilts when I create collages for my Photo Quilts. Here is a Remembering Quilt I created and donated for a Gold Star Mom. Her son sustained injuries in Iraq three years ago and suddenly died of complications. This mom shared over 300 photos and I was able to use 80. The text included letter, poems, events and dates, all using photoshop. You can see close up photos on my Facebook Page: RememberingQuilts http://on.fb.me/ItjrM4

I have donated several photo quilts to Veterans suffering from TBI and/or PTSD.

I use this technique to add text so the quilt is 100% washable.
