'I See Red' is now finished. It is exactly what I wanted...bright, bold, loud and unconventional.
I used lots of different stitches, and yet, there is actually a rhyme and a reason.
The two varigated threads are #8 by Threadworx. The red threads are also #8 pearl cotton and #25 Coton a Border in two different shades of red. Yes, we can get Coton a Border over here! It is wonderful to work with and I recommend it to anyone if you can find it.
Needless to say, I had a lot of fun working on this piece. It's sort of like 'crazy hardanger'. Not something you see every day or even think about. Hardanger is usually so geometric and has a repetitive, exact plan. But it doesn't have to be, as I found out. So, now it's on to my next project which is NOT hardanger. Stay tuned!
