Guarded Treasure

This is my 4th journal quilt for the weekly challenge over at 3 Creative Studios.  I have really enjoyed doing these little quilts...this one is 8 inches square.  I am going to pop it on point to a sweatshirt. 

It is technique driven with fused applique, hand quilting, and of course, hand painted heat stressed tyvek attached with beading.  And yes,  I have run tyvek through the laundry.  I pinned a bunch of beads to a tee shirt once and they came out just fine.  I do believe that this one will hang to dry!

I decorated a bag with Tyvek and it has been washed many times. Just watch out in case you want to iron your shirt.
