I think I have found what I want to use for my hand embroidery on these blocks. I have tried embroidery floss and wasn't really crazy about it. I tried variegated and solids and still didn't like it. Today I got to the city to do some shopping and found some YLI Pearl Crown Rayon. It is beautiful. I bought some variegated which is really pretty, but don't think I will go that route - think I will go back and find a solid, either pale yellow or better yet a gold color. I do like the thread. It does say on the back "Not a needle thread", but I am assuming that means in the sewing machine because I had no problem doing hand embroidery with it. It's nice and shiny. Unless I change my mind again, I think this is it.

Found this info.
"YLI Pearl Crown Rayon is a highly twisted thread-like cord. This decorative thread is designed for serger loopers, bobbinwork, hand application or couching."
It looks lovely.

Oh...another thread to check out! I just love pretty threads for embellishing! Can you show us a pic of the heart you did???
Hope you join us djbs! Some will follow the book as closely as possible, then there are others whose quilt is look really different. I'm using dark olive green as my background and turning the blocks on point...so, you can do whatever trips your trigger!
