I love creating with fabric and thread - the possibilities are endless!

In my recent piece, I was given a picture of the night sky and asked to recreate it in fabric and thread - AKA - painting with thread. As with many things in life, once you figure out how to do it, it is not that hard. Well, as long as your not tired or hungry or stressed out. And as long as you have lots of time. I suppose I could add "it might be easy for you to say!"

The basic steps: Put the base material together with batting and  backing on the long arm machine. Start sewing with the thread colors that will be in the background. Then move to the colors that will be in the foreground. Use lots of thread to ensure good color. Remove and bind. Attach sleeve for hanging.

In the end, I found this quite fun to do!
