I have made an entry for the Stitch This! Challenge. Quilting Arts and Bernina are hosting. You can vote for as many pieces as you like but you can only vote one time for each.
I saw the photo and just fell in love with it so I had to enter. Not sure why but I really like swans. The challenge was to interpret the picture posted but showcase stitching. Uploads were to begin on May 3rd but I found out about it on May 5th. So I got to work and started creating!
First I drew the image on to white cotton fabric. I used the Neocolor II watercolor pencils and then blended the colors using the textile medium. Terri Stegmiller had used this instead of water so I decided to give it a try! LOVE IT!!! Going to do this again! Anyway, I then thread painted the entire piece. The feathers at the bottom were thread painted on separate fabric and then cut out and added to the piece. I love the colors and the entire piece.
Wish me luck!

Patty this is gorgeous...I think I'll head right now over to that website and vote for it!
Thanks so much Terri and Kathy! I really enjoyed making this piece. I think it was the colors!
What a great job you did of this Patty.. I was going to do it until I read the fine print. Only for U.S. residents... cut me out!
I hope you win.
It took me awhile to figure out how to vote, but got it ! Ask everyone in your groups to cast a vote. I will ask too! Good Luck!
