This was a thank you gift to a pastor that took on the role as our speaker while our minister was on sabbatical. *aside* have you any idea how hard it is to choose a verse for a pastor y'all!?
I started by printing the design I wanted to do. A quilt sandwich was created and the papers were pinned to the sandwich.
Using a darning foot, I traced over the letters, tore the paper away and started colouring them in.
But I didn't like it.
So I started in with the fans.
But I really didn't like it, so I started in with the pebbles.
Have you ever heard the expression "throw more thread at it"? It seemed to work this time around.
Great job on your thread painted lettering and such a thoughtful gift for your paster!!
