Now the Finished Finishing

I've also been collecting examples of lovely finished pieces for you to admire. Let's start with Laura Perin who isn't just posting good photos of her finished designs, she's telling you how she used thread size and color in these pieces. It's fascinating reading!

Speaking of changing a design through color, you might enjoy seeing examples on Orna Willis' blog. These aren't finished pieces but since they fit the color play theme so well, I wanted to include them here.
