Errrm a bit :lol: :lol: Piccies maybe tomorrow as I didn't do much whilst I was away.
CC, I don't think yellow would clash. Is it thread? Where are you going to use it?
Are you starting straight away? I'll be glad of your company on this one.

I reckon it would be fine with yellow. Lemon rather than canary or the phoenix might get lost.
I look forwards to seeing your pics - you are welcome to slot into this thread if you wish.

I think I would choose yellow, too, though maybe a bit paler than lemon...?

Anyway, Midge, it looks fab so far, and I'm dying to see it grow! :D

28ct Ivory linen. It looks dark on the photo's, probably because it is laid on the sofa.
