Thread Painting Quilts

posted by kathy on Fri 20 Nov 2009

I’ve been doing a lot of thread painting and free motion quilting lately. I found this great book by Carol Shinn called Freestyle Machine Embroidery: Techniques and Inspiration for Fiber Art that has been a tremendous help is learning how to properly use thread to create shade and light areas in my art quilts when I thread paint on the quilt.

I’ll post some of these thread painted quilts to my blog here soon, but I wanted to get the word out that Freestyle Machine Embroidery is a great reference book for thread painting quilt artists!

You can purchase Freestyle Machine Embroidery on Amazon for less than the cover price.
