Pretty Colours

I now have some Aurifil threads to match my Oakshotts. Thank goodness for colour cards because I never could have managed to do this so well otherwise. My only complaint here is my iPhone's complete inability to capture colours properly.


But this gives you the idea. The threads are as vibrant as the fabric. I know I am making something with all these, but part of my could just sit and look at the colours on the table - All. Day. Long.

    You could have removed the foil to stop the reflection ;)

    Looks lovely! Jealous that I still did never have a Oakshott. Maybe one day ... after I used the fabrics I bought last year

    You didn't mess up that gorgeousness and put them away, did you? Keep them out just like that for days and days, re-arrange them, pet them and love them.

    Very, Very pretty.

    But I thought you weren't going to taunt us with the Oakshott again?

    Nope, I'm not reading in order anymore.

    That makes a lovely photo, so I'm sure it will make something equally fantastic with it.
