cake!




A work in progress...
I love doing stitch samplers but finishing them doesn't go fast for me because I still need to master some of the stitches and because I am easily distracted by other projects. I thought I would show you the most recent one I have been working on. It is cake by Rebecca Rinquist of Drop Cloth. How do you feel about metallic embroidery thread? I used some here and it is a little rough and hard to keep the threads from splitting. Any tricks for keeping that from happening?

How fun!

I've used metallic threads a couple of times, and had a devil of a time, but I liked the results it gave. I'm afraid I don't have any hints though.
