DMC just added
35 new colors to their collection, bringing the total number of solid colors to
489.
As a
designer I was very exited to see the new threads for myself, so I went online
and ordered the collectors box. This proved a little unnecessary as the box
came with a little dent, this often happens with metal boxes sent in the post.
So lesson learned, again ! This is not the first time I get a damaged box in
the post.
Just for
fun I filmed myself as I opened the box to capture my first reaction, you can
see the short film below.
As you all
know, I re-chart antique embroidery pattern, and often felt like the greys we had available were a
little hard, and not really working for shading white flowers. So my latest
pattern is color coded using some of the new colors and greys, I hope the new
shades of greys will add a soft touch to the beautiful Calla lilies bell pull
pattern.
