I decided to make a cushion & case for my mom for her birthday (thank you cuties for all the wonderful ideas) I know exactly what I need to ask for my birthday this year. LOL While making this design with my variegated thread I ran out so I used another that I had for just one feather but I didn't like the look of it so I used the last pretty small spool ( less then 1000 yds) & finished it off as well. So for my birthday I need some big spools of variegated threads lol Can you tell where I ran out & Can you tell where the other 2 threads begin & end? Is it ok as it is or should I start again with a solid thread? I added a zipper @ the top & lined the back of the design with muslin so the pillow can be removed & the case can be washed

Wow, very beautiful pldc.
It would be a good idea to add a zipper and allow to remove the pillow for washijng or other.
Your work is well done, nothing to change.
Hugs,
PS, it will also be my mother's birthday on July 17 ...I soon show you what I embroidered and sewed her. ( wink)

Don't change anything and don't point out where the thread ended. Only you know, Call it finished and move on to your next project.

I wouldn't worry about the threads Loralye as your attention is drawn to the whole bird. It looks fantastic and your Mum will absolutely love it. I love the purple fabric too. Did you do the cross hatching on the front as well? Love Chris

yes the quilting is pretty easy as I use masking tape to make my marks. Thanks Chris, I guess a peacock is pretty colourful. ~hugs ***~

It looks as if it should be like this - brighter colour around the outside. Never mind THE one solid coloured feature, as long as you don't tell nobody would start Looking for it or notice.
It's beautiful and your quilting has not got a wobble in it, my straight lines are not always that straight. Well done!

Martine I use masking tape so my lines are all equal. There is no one solid color I used 3 different variegated threads the one that your thinking is solid is purple,pink & very pale blue. Thank you very much, ~hugs & **~

I think I did see where you made the change, but it is so minor I wouldn't worry about it at all.
1 comment
I made two changes can you see them both? actually I used 3 different variegated threads. So it is nice to know that they do blend in. Thank you very much Lynn, ~hugs & **~

I sure wouldn't make any changes. It's lovely as it is and the thread color just blends in.

I see the change but it blends in so well, it is lovely the way it is. I know you are going to point it out but try not to and see what happens. In nature things are not perfect so why should our projects be perfect. We are human and no human is perfect. Your Mom will love it. .
Thank you for sharing Happy Stitching

Lovely result ! I can not say were you rain out of the thread and when you used the other one. Leave it as it is. Is so beautifull.

Wow, this is beautiful! I can't tell that you ran out of thread.... I can't spot any place that looks like you changed thread. Your mom will be tickled pink (or purple!) with this cushion. It is gorgeous!
