      so simple but effective those little parallel lines, the thread is variegated, so that adds an effect too,

    I have really enjoyed all the photos from the convention, Michelle! That is true art and it amazes me what people can create with different fabrics and stitches. I just know I wouldn't have the patience... ;-) Hugs, Silke

      Glad you enjoyed these photo-filled posts, we all have patience for what we love to do, don't we, you spend a lot of time building up surfaces of paint,
