Ta Da! Here is “Kitty Cat Row” all finished! I finished it late Monday night, but wanted to wait until I had washed and ironed it to post the happy dance picture.
In case you were wondering, I made a couple of minor changes near the end: First I altered the last two kitties’ collars from bark to brethren blue (2nd to last kitty) and mulberry (last kitty). I did this for no other reason than I thought they looked cuter with more colorful collars than with dull greenish-brown ones. I also changed the last kitty to oatmeal instead of onyx because I already had an onyx kitty and thought an oatmeal one would look nice with the mulberry collar that I had planned.
Though this is not the first project I have stitched with overdyed floss, it is the first “large” one and I think I can now say that overdyed floss does have its charm if you can use enough of it to actually see the color variations.
And now, because it is Wednesday, it is time for the SBQ! This week’s question was once again suggested by Nancy and is:
Do you do anything special to your threads before putting them through your fabric to make them more manageable?
In a word, NOPE!
Every time I went to the quilt shop with my mom last year I would look at “Thread Heaven” and wonder if I should try some though…
