Lavender :: Line

Starting something new is exciting. I am using the iris squares/circles.

They belong together. The gray base fabric is lightly painted - going along with the watercolor effect of the dyed squares.

I am experimenting with a solid hand-stitched line. I like that it looks like drawing - drawing with thread.

Looking for ways to hold everything together.

  2. thank you so much, grace. it feels good to try something new. it's funny - I can't find any lavender/purple embroidery thread in my stash. so lavender IS new to me.

    hope the goat show/hauling went well.

  5. The soft watery greys and purples are fabulous and I love the way the circles appear and disappear in and out of the different fabrics.
