Thanks to everyone for your wonderful comments. I'll try to answer your questions.....First...the original design came from a collection of designs from nature purchased from Dover. The line drawing and the lettering were printed on
fabric. I added a fusible interfacing, did the thread painting (the center medalion and the "stems" ) The colors were enhanced with inktense pencils...batting and backing were put together using spray adhesive then I did the bead work. The binding...and then a sigh of relief!.....It really looks good next to January's 12 x 12....

Saying this is beautiful is not quite enough. Maybe saying envy(in a good way) would be better. Wonderful job.

Hope you wouldn't mind another question. What type of thread and needle are you using for your thread painting? It looks so nice. :)

sewnbyme4u 02-23-2012 06:19 PM

I am new to thread painting so I don't have any "set formula".....on this piece I used a variety of threads that included 100% polyester by Gutermann and 100% rayon by Sulky, both of these were 40wt. In the bobbin I used a 70wt bobbin thread, the needle was a 70/10 universal.....I made a practice sample duplicating the materials in my final piece and adjusted the tension before working on the final piece....
