How lucky I am - must be the double yolks - to have received a sample of rainbow HDT from Jess to play with over the holidays.
I looked for suitable patterns and came up with a couple from a Mary Konior book.

These little motifs are just that - LITTLE! The second one is about an inch across, maybe a bit more and the first a wee bit larger.
There was just enough of some old Majestic #80 green left to use for the second shuttle... Cute, huh?
Then, a brief excursion into rolled stitches, which I have not practiced in ages. This is a great pattern to play with.
The stitch became easier after about four repeats... You can tell I have relaxed over the holidays - look at all those bare threads! YIKES!
Hi Fox,

I love Mary K's patterns! Yours look very nice in that thread.
ReplyDeleteThat's really pretty!
ReplyDeleteI can't do rolled stitches...
You're a better woman than I to brave the stitch!
lol
Beautiful thread - so bright and cheery! I love the feel of dyed thread too.
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow is so beautiful and you motifs are great!! :)
ReplyDeleteOh it tats up beautifully! When I first saw the picture, I said, wow, that's pretty thread lol. It may very well be size 80, since it was vintage thread, I don't think it had a size on it. :o)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Love the pairing of the rainbow thread with the dark green one in the first motif.
ReplyDeleteLovely!!!
