3 Day Dog Quilts - Dog 2 Thread painting


I finally found time to sew today and finished the pug.  There is always a stage where you think that it all looks bad, and too much thread has been used.  This is when I keep going and add some more. Here 's a look at the thread I chose to paint the pug.  The following are some pictures of the dog in various stages of being thread painted.
