I printed Jonathan's photo in black and white onto some lightweight vilene. I backed this with white cotton and then stitched the coloured lines using my twin needle with red in one and orange in the other.

Image Transfer
This is one of my City & Guilds pieces but I thought I would share it as I am quite pleased with it. However I have really struggled to get a good photo of it so it does look better in real life.
I printed Jonathan's photo in black and white onto some lightweight vilene. I backed this with white cotton and then stitched the coloured lines using my twin needle with red in one and orange in the other.
I then layered it with wadding and backing and quilted it with a silver metallic thread.

I love your twin needle stitching on this one Janet - it fits in so well with the photo.
Oh Janet, I do like this very much, it's so effective!! Just that dash of colour really makes it. Well done, again!!
