Making labels too - I did this last Christmas using the luggage labels, and I had several recipients comment on them. It is like your embroidery, easy to get lost in creating beautiful things and taking your mind away from current issues. Thank you for your linkies, always look forward to looking through them. <br />Val (UK)Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069489622397058207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-83232420486848619042020-03-28T08:01:05.061-04:002020-03-28T08:01:05.061-04:00Do you have Carole Samples’ “Dream A Seam” templat...Do you have Carole Samples’ “Dream A Seam” templates?

I think we can easily keep choosing the same pleasing colors if we don't push to try new ones. One of my art professors used to ask us to pick a color we didn't like, then work with it in an artwork until we figured out how it worked best. It was uncomfortable, but worth it.Boudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00641013916263271948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-69951903340098749762020-03-27T19:51:23.670-04:002020-03-27T19:51:23.670-04:00Lovely block--I am setting up a neutral block for ...Lovely block--I am setting up a neutral block for summertime embroidery on our deck (if we live that long --not so funny these days!!) <br />I made and mailed off 10 masks with ties for family ...this took most of my week...so my Courthouse Steps is taking a break...I can't believe that making these really tired me out...;000<br />~ ~ ~ ~ waves Julierose:)))Julierosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04079686021190332890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-45474755308384855462020-03-27T19:31:27.248-04:002020-03-27T19:31:27.248-04:00Oh I will enjoy your color theory blocks.
