More Art Inspired By Kids’ Imagination

Whilst working on my City and Guilds certificate in Design and Embroidery, I used my 3-year-old daughter's drawings as the inspiration for my media design board. This work was then taken through for my resolved textile hanging. The drawings were stitched on muslin and pieced in a haphazard way.
 
I was stuck for how to finish it, when it was suggested that I add a quilted border to represent a mother's protective love. I loved this idea, and when I picked Mary up from nursery that afternoon, she came home with a painting that included a painted border onto which she had drawn hearts and spirals—an instant design for me to work with.  
 
I was so pleased to be able to preserve these drawings, especially as they were on an assortment of scrappy bits of paper and would not have survived all the house moves we have been through.
