Oh WOW Tisha! I love that pattern...is it a pattern that I can buy or do you have to go to a workshop to learn how to do that? You really seem to have gotten the hang of it quite well!
I agree about the varigated thread...that will be soo pretty. You could even maybe do some of those iron on beady type things. I like a little shine sometimes, so I've used the heat bonded crystals in lots of colors. I love them and they seem to stick on really well.
Great job Tisha!
