It seems like there's another seam


This is another of the seam treatments I've been
doing...






I worked this using blue metallic thread (red in the diagram) and added rice pearl beads (green in the diagram). 




And finally, your quote for today is from Idowu Koyenikan.... "Your pride for your country should not come after your country becomes great; your country becomes great because of your pride in it"

  2. Hi MA
    Your newest seam treatment is so lovely. I like the metallic thread together with the pearl.
    Good quote. Maybe Donald Trump should read it.
