Kathy, don't hold out on us, we need pics!
I have loads of them now - does anyone feel the need to try practising a scroll yet? I am still not sure if you want to see finished blocks yet, or what, because of the start date being so far away, but I am keeping them all ready for when we do start. I have been putting some of them on my PDA if you want sneak peeks at them.

I'm going searching for your pictures. I want to see what you've done.

For lists of where my pics are for this quilt, click on my blue name above my avatar, and scroll down right to the bottom. I hope I have managed to list where to find them all, but I might have missed off one or two.

My book is on its way from Amazon ....I need another project like a HIH [hole in head] but.... lookin forward to it!!
Lesley - I have to ask if you know any Sheridans up there? My dear dear friend 'Uncle Father John V. Sheridan' just passed here a few months ago. I could swear he said his family came from area where Yeats was - I know he was a terrific Yeats fan as was Mary Campbell. Names sound familiar??
btw - I see many of you referring by 1st name - mine's Monica

This is what Kreinik says about it:
Use Kreinik Blending Filament, by itself or combined with other yarns, to create random highlighting effect in all hand embroidery like cross stitch and needlepoint, plus machine embroidery, crochet, and knitting. Available on 50 meter (55 yard) spools.

I tried paler yellows, but settled on quite strong gold colour (742) Another one that is very similar is 972 (both DMC, for Anchor equivalent, you would have to find a comparison chart). I am happy with my blocks this way, and I haven't had any problems with thread shredding, or difficulties with threading the needle, plus I know that it has lasting qualities.
