And, she certainly would like purple and white! Good suggestion. Hankies are on hold till the coasters are done, however. I think this weekend will be very interesting! I can't wait. Enjoy yours as well, Fox : ))<br /><br />Krystle, White? Ecru? Hmm... I don't think I can do it, although I love looking at white work that others do. The bottom thread is good old DMC #80! (Top is Majestic #80) <br />Fox : )<br /><br />Hi, Miranda! Thanks for the visit! I LOVE the thread - Lady Shuttlemaker's - I used for the last coaster. It is even prettier in real life! : ) Fox<br /><br />Jeannette, Yes, colours must be absolutely a certain way for me to be pleased. You seem to know exactly how I feel about this! Ah, the artist's temperament! Fox : ))<br /><br />Hello, Sally! Those borders absolutely gobble the hours, don't they! Will you really do the thing again? Yikes! Rather like a re-read of War and Peace! : )) FoxFoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889386206601730189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-26026389048125099502009-09-23T11:04:19.375-04:002009-09-23T11:04:19.375-04:00Oh what a shame its so pretty, but you will find s...Oh what a shame its so pretty, but you will find something else to use it on eventually! I took on holiday a hankerchief to tat a border for and then ran out of cotton! It was old cotton so no chance of finding anymore. It took just like you ages to do and now will have to start again - grrrrSally Kersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14689082516157330679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-80294716666914873492009-09-23T07:17:57.091-04:002009-09-23T07:17:57.091-04:00Hi Fox,

Sigh... I always thought it was some kind of Virgo thing (or at least that is what I blamed it on LOL) Just LOVE the threads you are using for the coasters!Just_Jeannettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02289684577751423111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-24926850146498060032009-09-23T05:44:40.935-04:002009-09-23T05:44:40.935-04:00I agree about the border.

The border itself is gorgeous, though, so I hope you can find something else to put it on. I love the thread for the coaster, too.Mirandanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-3724969319600932162009-09-23T02:11:07.166-04:002009-09-23T02:11:07.166-04:00Perhaps a classic white border? :-) I loathe tat...Perhaps a classic white border? :-) I loathe tatting in white and ecru lol.... <br /><br />BTW, what thread is that in the bottom pics?

I love the subtle shifts in color. Very pretty!!!<br /><br />And I don't blame you a bit for discontinuing work on the edging, although I think it is beautiful... I agree that it just doesn't POP against the green handkerchief and anyway hobbies ARE supposed to relax and refresh you! I wondered though, do you think there is enough to make a smaller handkerchief in lavender or white for the little boss lady? She seems to have an appreciation for the finer things...<br /><br />In case you don't post again before this weekend, have a good time!<br /><br />:) Annsewmuchfun4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09841972052152898574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7637401073707850632.post-53660477513736420542009-09-22T22:46:46.770-04:002009-09-22T22:46:46.770-04:00Perhaps it is too colorful for what you were envis...Perhaps it is too colorful for what you were envisioning or for what you prefer. But, objectively, it does not look bad at all. In fact, I really like it. So if this hanky is looking for a home (hint, hint), let me know.
