Newest art quilts

Poor Baby Jackson
 "Poor Baby Jackson"  is a thread painting I did of my cat.  He does look much like this,  took it from a photo of him.  We call him Jackson. He is by no means a Poor Baby.  I adopted him from a local vet, he had been brought in very ill, broken and un-loved.  He is really a character in this home of 3 dogs.








Gone wild
Gone Wild is also thread painted original design,  this was made for the 2013 Quilt Wyoming Challenge.  The bottom is against a black background but actually just beads hanging down fro the edge of the quilt.
Close up of "Dining Out"

I started "Dining out" 15 or more years ago. I  used it as a class sample in thread painting.  I  found it unfinished when cleaning out for a garage sale.  Decided it might be worth finishing.  It is very unlike the thread painting I now do.  The fabric is mostly visible  in this and I do not use a base color of fabric on my thread painting now.
