I had a wonderfully busy day on Saturday at Quilt Canada 2025 with two sold-out workshops.

First up in the morning was
“The Magic of Thread Painting"

Students learned:
The principles of using a photo editing program to simplify a photo that can be used to make a line drawing or appliqué pattern.
How to make a base image for thread painting with fusible appliqué.
Basic thread painting with a straight stitch, side motion zig zag, free motion satin stitch, slanted satin stitch, and open zig zag.
How to use a variety of different types and weights of thread.
Correct hand and body positioning and more.

It’s fabulous to see everyone just have fun and let the creativity flow!
