Not having learned traditional quilting means that I have no qualms about doing somewhat unorthodox things to fabric. I have recently amassed a collection of new rubber stamps for my art journaling class supply base. Why use them just on paper? I have already used them on my "What's Your Story" challenge entry in the Mutton Hill Quilt Show:
Since I was stamping on the quilt after putting all three layers together, I had a lot of ink "over-slop." The stamps sunk into the soft surface and left the excess ink that was picked up. I probably over inked the stamps too, but everything remained legible. I'm fine with that.
I am still adding to my collection of alphabet stamps, I just bought a vintage set of them at the local junk auction for $1.
I should have sorted through them before the auction started, as a few letters are missing. No problem, I could just mix fonts in a sort of ransom note style. Then, there is always Ebay; I found a probably identical set of stamps, complete. This second set is already on its way to me. I will keep and use both sets, of course.
