Playtime -

 

 

As it turned out - 

 

We did not lose power yesterday - 

 

So I got a chance to play with the WHITE/BEIGE flower - 

 

On the KaBloom panel - 

 

After I scheduled my "just-in-case" post -

 

 

I started in the center with a "blendy" color -  EGGSHELL -

 

And continued on out to the next round of petals - 

 

Making it up as I went along - 

 

 

Then I outlined the rest of the petals -

 

To give me "spaces" to quilt - 

 

 

After a while I thought I would try some variegated thread - 

 

And installed the Horizontal Spool Holder - 

 

In place of the "regular" one - 

 

 

Then I proceeded to completely destroy all of my pretty work - 

 

With the variegated thread - 

 

 

I did NOT like the effect of the variegated thread at all - 

 

The dark was more than I expected - 

 

And showed up in weird places - 

 

So - 

 

In an attempt to salvage it - 

 

I added MORE variegated thread to the center section - 

 

 

Today I want to play with the next flower - 

 

The "Medium-sized" one - 

 

It's about 16" square - 

 

 

So I chose the same "blendy" EGGSHELL color - 

 

A YELLOW - Sunlight - 

 

And a BLUE - Blue Mist - 

 

And a BLUE variegated - that I probably won't use - LOL - 

 

Looking at the photo now - 

 

I might also add a darker YELLOW - 

 

And darker BLUE to the mix - ;)) 

Talk to you later - gotta go - gotta sew -
