Hodgepodge Patchwork Tuesday - Thread Painting for Kris

Do you remember my post for the Table Topper Blog Hop in April?  I shared my Kissing Quilt. I hosted a giveaway for Free Quilting, Free Batting, and Free Thread. The winner could choose any kind of quilting from thread painting, to detailed quilting, to over all quilting for any small quilt top.
Kris won! She at Kris Loves Fabric Blog!
Kris chose Thread Painting for her quilting prize.  She sent me a McKenna Ryan four block wall hanging.
I started to pick out thread colors.

Here are a couple photos before I started quilting.

It is a raw edge applique' using a lite heat and bond to adhere it to the fabric.  Kris cut and pressed all the little pieces before she sent it to me.

I thread painted on each section of the petals of the flowers and the center of the flowers too.

 Here's a really up close photo of the daisy.  Remember the stitches are really tiny.

I quilted the background of each block with a pebble or rock quilting.  Gives it a little dimension.

I used a green called trainer green. It is like an army green. It looks great on all 4 background fabrics. It's a color that kind of blends in.

I continued to change thread colors and stitch each section.
Here is a before and after on the leaves.

And then the other leaves...

Up close of the other flower.  The light yellow gives it highlights.

I used three colors on the rooster feathers.

The little yellow chick has tiny feathers.

I added a lite tan and a white thread to the eggs.

And here is the other little yellow chick!

I quilted tiny circles to add texture to the rooster's face.

I flipped it over, so you can see the backside of the wall hanging. Kris chose a perfect color for the backing fabric.

I took a photo before I sent this off in the mail to Kris.

Kris sent me a surprise gift!  Thanks Kris! I love bright fabrics!

I also included an estimate sheet, so Kris would know the value of her quilting prize. $85.10
