Provencial Sunflower

The french sunflower is just about complete! This one is for me and will hang in my home.

Construction stats

Fused using Steam-a-Seam

Hand dyed fabrics from Melinda Bula

Pattern Sunflower by Melinda Bula

Thread work Sulky 40 weight

I find I really like thread painting. While thread painting, Melinda bring the bottom thread to the top, takes a couple of stitches, trims the ends and starts sewing. She does not worry about knotting off the threads or lots of tiny stitches to anchor the ends of the thread. She just steams the piece when she is finished and the steam reactivates the Steam-A-Seam and anchors then thread! It seems to work just like she says!
