Tiny Needle Tuesday - Zeke

photo taken in 2019

Zeke's mom, Stephanie asked her grandmother to stitch this photo of her precious little guy. Marilyn has stitched many photos over the years for family and special friends. She seems to love the tiny needle as much as she does making quilts. 

Marilyn stitched the graduation portraits of her grandson and granddaughter, special gifts, and wedding portraits for Stephanie and one of her friends. 

It would literally take me years to complete one let alone several of these pieces.

It was fun to watch the image appear on the fabric.

Marilyn sometimes stitched during our Sunday FaceTime calls.

Zeke's stitchery is finished and ready for framing - a work of love and certainly an heirloom.

    She's captured that sweet face so perfectly. Wow! It would take me years too. I used to do a lot of cross stitch, but my eye sight just frustrates the process now days.

    I have NO WORDS!!!! I'm in awe. Amazed and incredulous. And those words still don't do this justice. I've never seen anything like it. What an incredible gift of love. How did she do it?
    Blessings,

    That is beyond amazing!
    It's called thread painting. You use single strands from 6-stranded embroidery floss, and you have a bunch of colors going at once. I only know this from reading. I could not possible do it!
