Out of the Darkness



Today is wet and grey. I want to use a colour I don't normally play with - Black.

I have scraps of muslin, organza, cotton knit, black lace, and black ribbon.

Decided to use red as the contrast.

The twin needle was used to great effect, but I ran out of neon green as I made the second run.

Frayed the edge of the organza, but I stayed stitched 15mm in from the edge, just to secure.

The square of red was layered with the black lace with one rose prominent over the red.

Zigzagged the edges and voila!. Feather stitch embroidery and beading completed the quilt. I even left the dangly threads on the beads.
