Guess I need to play around with how to do shading stitches.
I used the iPiccy progam. Do you use regular polyester thread or a embroidery thread?
Thank you for sharing!

I used both embroidery thread and quilting thread. The main criteria about choosing thread is 1. What colors do I have and 2. what do I want from this color...do I want a sheen, or to be less noticeable, etc. Since it is an art quilt and may never be laundered free yourself from rules and do whatever pleases you!
