I feel like coming over to organise it for you, lol.

Those threads look really nice, what are Aurifil? Are they cotton or silk or something else - I sort of vaguely remember seeing them somewhere and I thought they're for machine embroidery. I bought a box of silk threads in 50 weight and they were quite a lot thicker than the YLI 100s. The block you're working on is looking great.

I sit on the other half. Luckely for me, my family has learned to live with that. The 4 of them use the other couch. Kind of luxury, don't you think?:-)<br />I do clean out the couch when I know we have company. Otherwise it's hopeless.Françoisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520579721229830065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5438520712984321582.post-41227444655600255302010-09-12T01:44:27.139-04:002010-09-12T01:44:27.139-04:00I am definitely going to have to try the overlay t...I am definitely going to have to try the overlay technique on one of my lollypop tree blocks. love that riot of coloured thread in the first pic. I'm loving the silk threads I've been using but I think I'll try the cottons you mention too - I've used Aurifil wool threads for a while now and love them so i'll give the 50wt a go too.Shrinkiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384259261142114629noreply@blogger.com
