Garden Wonder quilt - thread painting by Jennifer Day

I do not paint...yet! I use a photograph on fabric. I cover the photograph 100% in thread. See an in progress image using 12 threads and a finished image using 19 threads on the fingers. I am now offering classes on my technique. See info on my websitewww.jdaydesign.com!

I have used 12 colors of thread at this point in the process.

This is the finished section of the quilt using 19 colors on the fingertips.  The key is blending.

This is the original photograph that I start with.
