I had not expected that the substitute thread I used when I ran out of the planned variegated to be a successful colour blend. But it turns out that the #80 Lizbeth I added to the #70 HDT was pretty good.
As it is on the backside of the hankie, the pink and green thread is not that obvious. Not that I would give this to anyone as a gift, but for me, it is perfect! I will enjoy the hankie, usually used to clean sunglasses and regular specs. I love cotton, not tissue or paper towelling, for glasses.
Now on to this piece that I barely remember! I will start the heart row and then there is just one more after all the motifs that joins the border to the main work.
Such a busy little bee, you are! They are both so very pretty!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work and wow colours
ReplyDeleteOh well done you! So glad you found a better solution than a triangular hanky!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea! There's what to do with hankies! It is a good fit. Your doily is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely hanky, I also use a hanky for my glasses, paper tissues etc are made from wood and will scratch the glass lens, so a cotton hanky is the best from cleaning glasses
ReplyDeleteWhich one of us will finish this mat first, I think it will be you bit I will give a good try.
