Rainbow swirls.



I wove this cloth last night. I LOVE it. I spent this mornign basting it onto a backing and getting it ready to stitch. I thought it would make a nice little coin type purse.

Then I picked out my favorite cobalt blue beads and my new rainbow thread. I thought they would look lovely on it. When I first started out I did think they looked good but before long...


I had this mess and I hated it. So I spent awhile rippnig it all back out and now...I'm too mad to work on it anymore.

  2. The piece with a few fixing threads is just great! Don't give it up, maybe you sleep over it and find a solution. Maybe a systematic way to quilt it, just straight lines along the seams or something like that. It will be different from your usual things, but it will be fine!

  3. Wow, it's gorgeous! Maybe some plainer thread would look good.

  4. how about simply black? that would really define areas or fade them away depending on where and how you placed and used stitches. LOVE the weaving of the fabric.

  5. Oh I bet this will be fantastic when you figure out how you want to do it. Sometimes (often times for me) it takes more than one try. :)
