"Painting" with Fabric

   I'm not a quilter (yet), but I do love fabric.  The closest I really came to quilting in the past are these pictures that I call "painting with fabric."  The first one is my house complete with my three kids in the front yard.  I made it for my husband for Christmas a few years ago and I must admit it is one of my favorite projects ever.

 
The second one I made for my grandson's room --remember the train nursery?  (another post)  I made a tran depot -- just for fun.

I really enjoyed these projects and hope to do more.  I think I might make a tutorial about the process I used.  I am not an expert -- but maybe someone would like to see how I went about making these "works of heart."
