MessageCollection: Thread Paintings
My Thread Paintings all start as a piece of tightly woven percale cotton that is backed with a lofty wool batting. I drop the feed dogs on my sewing machine and use a free motion stitching technique where the fabric can move freely in all directions. I start with my darkest color thread and build up to my lightest color. I use a variety of cotton, silk and polyester threads. Superior threads are my favorite. Hand embroidery is used for finishing and detail work .
