Practical?


This is a close-up of that beautiful thread I bought at the lace club vendor market a couple of weeks ago. I am just now getting around to trying it out.

Verdict: I love it. LOVE it. It feels great and the colors are just spectacular.

I pondered several uses for it but in the end for this first shot, I decided to try a bit of tatting and I'm using the Chantilly Border from the new "Piecework" which is a reprint from "Weldon's Practical Needlework, Vol. 4".

I can't promise how practical this will be, but it sure is keeping me happy this rainy evening.

Great colors! Can't wait to see what you do with it. It'll be marvelous! (wish I could write that word like I was thinking it, but, I can't)
