Stitching with the turquoise silk thread I bought recently, I notice how smoothly it pulls through the fabric - and sometimes - right out of the needle! I've added it to alternating squares in the lower photo, that are part of the grain of the fabric, and in a square pattern on the green cotton velvet in the top photo. That cotton fabric with the existing square pattern is some I bought at the Victoria Sewing Show last year or the year before, that I have dyed in different colours and used in several of my pieces. I really like it and if you're interested to see how it looks dyed differently, click here: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggkx6wudPL4GrcRqfJBtuJCd6lQ6VqWsKkwg0dnWGmpA-0WCXqRWDrpTs4RPqCzHenoUTafPPPqL9V2e40eaH2v97xjeWyYl88ZRXCRWUk6cc7YQ796j157_aA5pHDj4TM3UEU8oTsC7A/s1600-h/DSCF6263.JPG and here https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjh4BU3ZiBIYl1QZWEqiyQU9zR-E-Oo1tnZASKV8cqVMNV7XovXO_ya7y-Oad05dyJpRcoCozKPfGxH2vQcqhvdSSni2WjSiSzkv8g0Z7v6lLzdFaDzR6LrnfCg2KIDGymumOyM-9ldjvU/s1600-h/DSCF7145.JPG A turquoise dupioni silk piece and some trim with the circles are now part of the mix, and this piece will be expanding in length over the next while.
