As planned on Kerry's block I'm doing an outline of the design with a chain stitch and using Krienik "Japan Gold" to do it. It was my hope that I could use the chain to stabilize the cording and I'm happy to report that it's going to work beautifully.. No cord shifting at all... As on Janet's block I reversed the design and transferred it to the back of the block and basted the outline to the front...... I got up extra early to have an hour's stitching time to see if it was going to work as that is probably all I'll get today..
I 'm in a mood I could stitch nonstop all day but we're having friends over for a fun day... I bought 4 different Krienik golds... gold coin, gold, vintage gold, and Japan gold... For this project I like Japan gold the best as it is the "goldiest"!!!
And BTW I'm loving the look of gold over the lace... Whatta ya think???
It looks super, really rich and real looking. I also love your paisley design.
