This is a continuation of 2 previous posts about the making of the bees on flowers art quilts. This is the bee on the native Camasia flower.
I layered the painted fabric with a stabilizer and did some light stitching, or thread sketching, to bring the piece to life. Many things can be done with thread that can't be done with the paint alone. But too much threadwork covers up all of the glorious painting. So, if you do it, make sure its with a light hand.
The piece was layered with batting and backing and quilted. The edges were faced to complete the piece.
I hope you like it!
