The cheetah's face has been free motion, thread painted by lowering the feed dogs of my sewing machine and "painting" using various threads. The background is a non-traditional piecing method I have developed. Small, thin strips of fabric, string, and thread were used to create the grass. The beaded fringe was created by using small nuts that my children and I gathered many years ago at the park near the Bessborough Hotel in Saskatoon. The fabric used for the border was purchased while traveling in Kenya, where I was fortunate enough to have actually seen Duma.
