Ground Control

Decided I would get a quick post out today before today is over.  I have been trying to add some photoes to include with this post.  I must say they are not my very best work but samples in a simple way to share the actual product.   You will note the samples a not very colorful, but show what can be done and anyway I have to take some better pictures to attempt to WOW  anyone. 

First of all I will get on with my thoughts about thread.  I love working with rayon thread, because of its gloss and super sheen.  I will repeat what was explained to me in MY BEGINNINGS.  When you are working on decorative projects that won’t be laundered on a daily basis and you are looking for a super shine to the colors you will get that with rayon thread.  However if you are doing things like everyday dish towels or tee shirts etc. looking for long lasting bright colors polyester threads are a good way to go.  Some years ago polyester thread did not have nearly the sheen of rayon, but I have to admit  things have changed and now I use a lot more polyester.   Because this is going to be my shortest post at least that is my intent, I am going to try to insert a couple of pictures at this point.  

Wahoo Guess what I did it.  I can’t wait until I take some better pictures.  The black and white pillow is one of a set of 2  20″ x 20″.  These pillows were done with rayon thread and though you can’t really see it has a great super white high sheen.  The other picture is a quilted tri-fold with a center zipper pocket and two check book size panels.  The thread used was a dark brown polyester, both for the monogram and the quilting.  This may not be a very exciting post as post go, but I am truly excited that I can add pictures in this way.  If you got this far thanks for sticking with me.

I hope that whatever your plans or struggles this weekend will be very pleasant and you will find joy even in the small things.
