Here they are with recommended everything! This was a really fun design to stitch, the colors are just gorgeous and the little fish and ocean motifs were so
enjoyable! I couldn't get a wonderful picture but this one shows the colors pretty well although it's a bit dark and doesn't show their true
brilliance. . My pathetic photography skills were utterly insufficient to capture the effect of the Gilt Sylke Twist, but you'll have to take my word for
it...it looks great IRL! I did make a couple tiny changes. I made the mermaids a bit curvier and I had to stitch "ivory" in the teal rather than
white. I loved the look on the model but when I stitched it on my fabric it just disappeared. I tried outlining the letters but they looked awful, so I just
pulled it out and did it in the blue. I'm bummed though, I wish it had looked right because the effect is so cool! I would have had this finished much
earlier but that middle section with all the over one kinda harpooned my motivation...I found myself getting distracted from it a lot! Thanks for looking!
Fabric Stash
And Organization
You are too sweet.
....and so quickly too! I've only had the pattern for about a week, so I know your needle was really flying. I think you have
convinced me to get the silks.........it's really going to pinch the wallet, but I think you are right.....it's worth it! I'm going to try my LNS
first, but if not, I will be going to one of the ONS that you all recommended. BTW, which fabric did you use? Was it the recommended, or something from your
stash?
