That's wonderful! You did a great job!

very nice ...............

WOW! This is wonderful!

I really like these. Just one more thing to put on the list. How old is the oldest person? Well it had better be me if I want to accomplish everything on my list and that's just the quilting list. lol

What is thread sketching?

Beautiful work, and thank you for introducing me to the technique and Nancy Prince. I've done a search and love her work.

amh

Truly amazing!

I am always amazed by thread sketching. Very clever.

Well done.....mine would be unrecognisable as an object....abstract to say the least...your work is really very good. Beautiful!

Great job!

Beautiful!!

That is so neat!!! I love the pictures of the sewing machines. I'm not familiar with the process. But, I'm going to go check it out!! Thanks for sharing. You did a nice job!

Love it so much! Like thread painting. I'll have to look up the author of this idea.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!

very nicely done

Gorgeous work! Very well done. I am thinking you drew the design onto the fabric with a washable pen of some sort and then followed your drawn lines with the thread sketching techniqe?

That looks like something I could do now that my hands won't let me embroider. Thanks for sharing!

This is great! You have a terrific control in your work.

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing. I had made a fabric post card and I thread painted a vintage machine - just winged it. No where near as nice as this, so I'll definiately investigate this technique.

To find out more about thread painting go to www.nancyprince.com Check under thread painting and she has some info on it. Basically it is doing embroidery on your domestic machine. You do it with the feed down.
