For the flamingo and the Blue bird I painted the design on organza, placed it backwards on top of fabric, layered with batting and backing and then quilted, therefore they look shinny. The cardinal was painted free hand on cotton, layered and quilted and the Geisha was a panel, painted, layered and quilted. The thread painting was done with the same color as the paint.
