Finished this Saturday night-I live a wild and crazy life.
This is a Designs by Heidi custom piece. She doesn’t have a web page or even as near as I can tell a Facebook page but she does have photos posted to Flickr. (Will someone let me know if that link doesn’t work? I have a Flickr account and I follow Heidi there, so I’m not sure if this will work for the general public.) If you like it, and want one with your own children’s name, drop me a note and I can send her your email.
I used #12 Kreinik braid for the gold #002HL , Vineyard Silk Classic in #C-110 Natural and Silk Lame Braid SL-28 for the Burgandy. Used a whole card of the SLB, almost a whole spook of the braid and 2/3 a skien of the VSC.
Random thoughts about this piece.
Looks very elegant. I think it will look good made into an ornament.
Not sure I shouldn’t use a #8 braid. Need to figure out whether that will give the coverage it needs. #12 looks a little thick.
Thinking this might look good done in Mosaic Stitch though the compensating might make me a little crazy and cause it to look clunky.
Next time I think I’m going to use Pepper Pot Silk for the natural. Not anything wrong with the VSC but really loving the Pepper Pot Silk right now!
