The product was Lesley Riley's TAP (Transfer Artist Paper). The challenge was to use it in a creative way. I'd been scanning family photographs and found an old photo postcard in the pile. Isn't is a wacky photo? I called it Boys in Wonderland because the back says "Wonderland Post Card Studio, 1206 Grand Avenue, Kansas City, MO." But that is all! There is no other identification, so I have no idea who these fellows are.
After I transferred the photo, I framed it with silks from a box given to me just last summer. I hadn't tried transferring many photos to fabric - I liked how TAP worked!
The photo in the quilt sent me scrambling for a similar photo of my great grandmother. http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=252270&l=b2b6a8b2b6&id=100000354476377 Turns out the moon is not the same, but my guess is the two photos are from the same era.
