Remember back before we really understood what 2020 was going to hold for us?
Remember when Jon Yusoff challenged us with Threads ThatBind?
Remember when I said I wanted to depict what it all meant to
me? Oh right. I haven’t shared that yet. Well, I finally have worked down the
mess of projects enough to get back to coming up with my edge for the
Challenge. I set myself several parameters: Use vintage threads, find a way to
use color to highlight parts of the design, learn how to use a 2 bobbin
shuttle.
This is my Round 14
The threads are all vintage size 30 (nominally…I think the
yellow is size 35!)
I felt like softness, not boldness was needed when figuring
out how to highlight the pineapple sections.
I used pink and blue in the dual bobbin shuttle for the outer round.
So, check!
But it needs something……
I’m currently adding small motifs that bring a house and
small trees to mind. I’ve got some ideas on how to tie those in, but need a few
more evenings to get to that point.
Yes, I like the way you’ve highlighted the petals.
