Stitching Off the Grid #7

A few French knots and suddenly the arc shape below the house becomes a bridge. I’ve made a bridge house! And don’t you love the color combination of thread and fabric on the bridge?

The size 8 Aquamarine thread for the French knots is the perfect “bridge” color between the mesh of blanket stitches (stitched with size 8 Bordeaux) and the moss green fabric. The Aquamarine thread repeats that same blue found in the rooftop and the treetop. And the French knots add touchable texture to the bridge. Can’t wait to see what happens next!

Here’s an update on my dye studio renovation. The tile floor is in place and I have new laundry tubs. How exciting! Can’t wait to wash some fabric (and clothes).
