Teal Bird Thread Art Quilt

This Thread Art quilt is inspired by blue birds and jays. It features thread painting where threads replace paint or ink.
The background is created in free-motion stitching in multiple shades on a needle felted base. The teal bird has variegated threads on his wing, contrasting with the golden sky above and purple marsh below. Hints of paint were added for the eye adding a touch of life to this sweet bluebird.
