It took 53 colour changes of rayon thread for this "Duck" cushion. The frame is an Husqvarna design embracing my own composition.

Thanks for visiting.
Hugs, Roberta

Well done, it looks beautiful. So many threads it must have taken a long time. Love Chris

It is made in 3 hooping, the center took all the afternoon, since I find the automatic needle thread of the Janome less friendly to use than the one from Brother, my old machine.

This is really beautiful. I have purchased so many beautiful designs that are thousands of stitches and color changes and hate to think of all the hours to do them. I am trying to stick with less dense but boy are they gorgeous. You've done a wonderful job.

Thank you very much, yes it took a few hours to make since the Janome automatic needle threader is very poor and I do hand threading.

I love the challenge of lots of thread color changes, but this would have really pushed even me! Very nice realization on the combining of designs.

That is stunning. Apart from the sewing and colour changes it must have taken a while to arrange it in the order that you wanted.
Very artistic I love it.
