New Finish - photos posted

I've just finished my latest project "birds of a feather" by The Cat's Whiskers, and have posted some pics on RCTNP. Due to my complete inability to adhere to instructions, I changed some colours and the pattern, but I think the end result is very pleasing.

I treated myself to some black Teflon Dovo scissors

Lovely stuff

Do you recall the chart for the biscournu? Nice and simple and utterly elegant.

Hi Cheryl Thanks for your kind words. I'm having a lot of fun rediscovering designing my own bits and pieces and this was one of them. The biscornu was made up from a couple of different edgings - cut down and turned to suit my needs, so sorry - no chart.

Cheers

Looks very nice, Joanne. What thread did you use - it's a great red. Looks kind of like "Buckeye Scarlet" from GAST, but I wouldn't assume from my memory looking at a photo. Lovely - sure the giftee will appreciate it.

The thread was Gloriana's Poinsettia, it is just the most wonderful red for all occasions. I love working with the Gloriana, and even more so when the colour is so pleasing to the eye.

Thanks for the answer - I have an evergrowing stash of Gloriana - and love it. I didn't like the feel of the older stuff when I first used it - felt kind of dry to me, like some of the Silk'n Colors. But the last couple of years (I think she may have altered her dying or handling) I've totally fallen in love with it. And her reds in silks are just the best IMHO! Great choice.
