Good afternoon, dear readers!
We had a fantastic weekend celebrating Jim's birthday! And Jocelin thinks she did well on the ACT exam. Saturday & Sunday were full of fun family activities. The weather co-operated and was just gorgeous.
I did manage to get the thread cabinets cleaned out and the culled thread now has new homes. I will be mailing the thread to the recipients later this week- when I head into town.
One of the main threads I'm keeping is Sulky 12 wt. quilting cotton. The Blendables shades are lovely variegateds that tat up well. The solids have a nice sheen and tat up equally as well. Here is a small chocolate colored Sulky motif I tatted this morning:
This little motif will be expanded and a tiny button pearl center accent added. So, what do you think? Have any of you out there found any other neat threads you'd recommend? I love to try new threads, but tend to go back to my favorites- Valdani Luxury Pearl Silks, Valdani Pearl Cottons & Sulky 12 wt. Caron Wildflowers is nice, too, along with the Dinky Dyes pearl cottons.
Well, I am off to the Atelier to play with the Sulky 12 wt. thread until Jim comes home from work. Have a great day & until tomorrow~
Happy Tatting!
That looks so nice!!! :)
