It's been so inspiring to watch you make this; I used to only save metallic ends (for a possible Christmas ornament that has yet to happen) but after you started sharing this one, I began saving regular floss too with the hope of stitching something like this :) I've seen a user on Instagram (can't remember who at the moment) who is making a single stitch every day, using each colour she'd stitched with that day, to fashion a sort of memory grid which is an interesting idea too!Aurelia Eglantinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998483816892542367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-83942757814291492382019-02-04T11:29:21.656+00:002019-02-04T11:29:21.656+00:00Thanks for your comments, guys! xxx

A pal of mine is stitching a piece from her threads but working row by row, sewing as many x's as she can with the latest colour, then starting on the next. It's really cool!<br /><br />Bugs and Fisheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06973019615558057522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-2909914939580418362019-02-04T10:17:00.899+00:002019-02-04T10:17:00.899+00:00This is so nice.

Something I should start on as I collected a few heaps of odds and ends and use up like 5%of it a year. <br />randomness is good. but one could get creative and maybe experiment designing - with shades of same colour...creating something that might look like a blurry landscape...or a rainbow...or geometric abstraction...<br />Thanks for sharing Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17042991317220456072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-46621349878374573242019-02-02T15:51:29.332+00:002019-02-02T15:51:29.332+00:00I also find that if you do an outline I just use p...I also find that if you do an outline I just use pencil like for a leaf or any item heart could be anything that would handle a fill in and then start with the different color threads it came out so sweet did a set for my sofa.So much fun and I like using the left over threads I also picked up some stray bunches of tread fromm the GoodWill store.Vickinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-91904975414006267612019-02-02T07:47:33.148+00:002019-02-02T07:47:33.148+00:00What a great idea!!!
