Lovely.
I've never seen velvet thread before. Pretty:)
It looks so delicate. Nice.
Very pretty, Diane.
Is this some of the thread we got in the goody bag at the retreat? I haven't tried it yet, but it looks lovely here.
Yes Janet, it was. There were also a lot in that bag of goodies that I bid on at the auction. It was nice to work with, but I imagine wouldn't stand up to unpicking!
