Sadly, I don't have any progress to post, but I did want to share the fruits of my recent trip to Jo-Ann Fabric:
This is for a new pattern that I haven't been able to start just yet, but I'm so excited about it. It's fun to look at all the bright colors, since Boreas is a little on the muted/drab side. It even has metallic thread! I've never used metallics before, and I understand they can be a huge pain to work with, but I think the effect will be worth it!
(I'm sure eventually I'll look back on that last sentence and curse myself, but that will be another day!)

Looks very promising!!
ReplyDeleteI find DMC Metallics really difficult to stitch with. I tend to use Kreinik these days, which is much softer and more sparkly:)))
