Thread Changes, Galore!

I am about 15 hours into the thread painting/quilting of my fused garden quilt.

It took me about 6 hours to arrange and fuse the hundreds of little pieces to the batik background.

I am enjoying the thread painting now, but it is pretty labor intensive.  And all the thread changes are a real pain.

But the results so far are wonderful!  I am really liking it!  And I’m only about half done.

But the other half, the top half, is lots of background, so should not take as long, I hope!!

I have included lots of bugs and snails and some birds and some fairies, too.  This will be a great “I Spy” quilt for little kiddos, someday!!
