This blog will be a journey through my quiltwork and some artwork and my life...sometimes the muse' is not active but I'll try I was a gourd artist until my hands gave out, now I thoroughly enjoy playing with fabric and paint. Enjoy most everything that nature has to offer. Family and friends are very important. I live in the beautiful Peace River Area of northeastern BC.

Painted Swans, stitched
I have finished the swans that I showed the other day.
I used WonderFil Rayon threads for the stitching, a bit of blue metallic under the birds. I used a variegated WonderFil Accent thread for the trees in the foreground.
For a first attempt I'm quite pleased with the results.
I look forward to your comments.

Absolutely AWESOME!!!
This is lovely, Rhoda ... I love your soft colors and delicate stitching.
Just gorgeous and your quilting really enhances the painting and brings it to life. Bravo!
What a great job Rhoda! I love the colors but the stitching is awesome.
Hi Rhoda - This is so beautiful. Your painting captures your subjects so well and the thread work pulls it all together. Carry on!
Hi Rhoda,
This piece is very nice. Love the relections in the pond playing off of the swans and the soft background. Thanks for sharing
