My first thread painting is now complete! [insert sigh of relief] I’m super excited. Fives days of work on a small project. Measures approx 17 x 11 inches finished. My first all thread painting piece. Began with a base white fabric, made my quilt sandwich and used 20+ embroidery threads to paint with stitches and make the image come to life. You can see my progression here, from start to finish. Completed February 5, 2017 by Mindy Jacobs.
