Here's what I do with some motif's using varigated thread: I go around the outline and then around again going smaller and smaller towards the middle. It gives a kind-of shaded appearance instead of the stripe effect. However the cat could be a tabby, in which case, he would be striped!Marshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13547025762056187319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-83165463545889783742011-08-09T19:06:48.637+01:002011-08-09T19:06:48.637+01:00It looks like a lovely holiday!

I can't believe that about the company--you'd think they'd be happy for the employment with the way things are nowadays.<br /><br />I think the cat looks great as is. I wouldn't change it. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about all the rioting. I'm sure it breaks your heart and scares you when you see it happening in your own country. xoxoSiobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-72853039588523495072011-08-04T21:44:21.993+01:002011-08-04T21:44:21.993+01:00Your new patio and garden look lovely.

Sod was not laid properly and they didn't clean up the remainder of the gravel left in our driveway. DH is on the case.<br /><br />I love your cat sampler and I think if it were me I'd leave the cat just as is.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16299867624939647862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-40905314397453876482011-08-04T15:44:15.822+01:002011-08-04T15:44:15.822+01:00We stayed at that hotel in Skiathos in 2006!

I was going crazy early this year when we remodeled our bathrooms. <br /><br />Your sampler looks great. I like the varigated threads for letters but when you are doing a block of stitching I too don't like the stripe effect very much. I don't know if I would re-do it though which is a pain.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377306162699247372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-51325852231036473122011-08-03T11:06:22.981+01:002011-08-03T11:06:22.981+01:00Hmm, excuses, excuses, lol, and I'm a fine one...Hmm, excuses, excuses, lol, and I'm a fine one to talk re posting! Patio looks lovely but definitely not more than a hard week's work I would think. Agree with Gabi, wouldn't do a different red but could try not doing in straight lines as she suggested. Absolutely charge per mile, think of all the stash you could buy :)))))!Gilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13039155678428883554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4412818587055987458.post-52240646768484184732011-08-03T01:38:22.890+01:002011-08-03T01:38:22.890+01:00Great catch- up post!

It should be fun to do after all and not an obligation.<br />Lovely sampler too. Threadworx 1089...isn't that "Bleeding Heart"? It's such a lovely color. <br /><br />I wouldn't do the cat with a different red if it was me. Or I would do the cat with a complete different color, or if I don't like the stripy effect, then I wouldn't work the cat in straight rows, but would stitch it in more irregular lines that looks like stripes cat naturally have.Gabihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258331709151408806noreply@blogger.com
