(blues and greens)<br /><br />Then, I pre-select about ten or twelve skeins of floss that either are analogous or complementary to the fabrics. I put the threads in a zip lock bag. <br /><br />When it comes time to add a new fabric, I 'feel' the weather, my surroundings, etc. I use up the entire piece of fabric. Some pieces last for several days.<br /><br />However, I use chance when selecting the daily thread. I put my hand into that zip lock bag without looking, and use whatever comes up. <br /><br />It's like life, we just don't know what each day will bring.Judy Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00619951031502775381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23991882.post-6574661811268674312010-11-26T02:34:04.550-05:002010-11-26T02:34:04.550-05:00I think I'm in love with your panels.
