One Flower Wednesday

I have a poor showing of hexies this week. I managed 4 before a migraine drove me to my bed. Just 2 1” hexies & 2 1/2” hexies.
I’d heard about the curve master foot & has i have difficulties with sewing curves on a machine purchased one. Haven’t tried it yet. :)

Last week Jenny mentioned on her blog about metallic embroidery threads & of a brand she liked. As i’ve been looking for a thread that doesn’t disintegrate as you embroider with it these sounded ideal. I purchased them here. I had the threads within a few days of ordering. I agree with Jenny about how nice the threads are.

I bought old gold which is black/gold, a gold & a silver.

Poor love with that horrid migraine! They are ghastly companions, aren't they?!
I'm so pleased you liked the threads. They are so pliable too - not like the stiff DMC ones.
Hugs
