My current project is this Crazy Quilt Christmas purse:
The top of the purse is part of a vintage Christmas hankie. I kept looking at the edge of the hankie and felt that it needed some sort of definition. I didn't feel that beading around it was the right thing. I just wanted it to have a little definition. Then I remembered my beautiful Kreinik metallic threads.
Kreinik offers a thread called, Facets. It's available in a variety of sizes but for this project, I decided on the Petite Facets in gold:
The Facets are very glittery and actually look like little beads. They're not intended to use for actual stitching but rather are meant to be couched on using another thread. I used a Kreinik metallic cord for that which is very fine.
Here are some close up photos so you can see how it looks:
You learn more about the
Kreinik Facets here on their website.
And before I turn the computer off for today, I thought I'd share yet another picture of my very cute baby kitty:
Cotton ball loves to play on the bed when I'm trying to make it every morning! I was trying to put clean sheets on the bed yesterday when he decided it would be fun to lay in the middle of everything.
