Here is what I made during the demonstration. A valentine.
I found the quilted neutral background with pink border in my stash. It was a leftover from another project.
I drew a basic heart shape onto some paper. I like to use Carol Doak's Foundation Paper for this process as it tears away fairly easily. Although you could use plain copy paper.
I pinned the heart drawing to the quilted background and stitched over the shape with black thread. Next I removed the paper. After the paper was removed I did some more thread sketching and added lots of details. I colored the shape with the crayons and then using a paint brush I wet the area with some textile medium. The small quilt measures 7" x 6.5".

Such a happy little valentine - I must give this a try!
Terri, that's beautiful. I love the thread sketching in black. It just makes the colours pop.
So sweet. I should check out that foundation paper!
That is just BEAUTIFUL! Gorgeous color combo. Makes my mouth water :o)
I love the black quilting lines, and wonder... you could draw the heart freehand as well? Do you have to use the paper? Very beautiful; what a fun time it must have been!
I love this Valentine Terri! You make the cutest things, and I always enjoy the colors that you use.

Love this!
I love this, terri. I will put it on my list of ATC ideas!
Gorgeous, and so easy!
Really sweet! thanks for sharing your technique too.
Yes, you certainly can do this without the paper. I have done it by using no guidelines at all and also by drawing lines directly onto the quilt with one of those blue water erasable pens.
Beautiful, love the softness and flowing design!
