Edit 4/30/2020: Cleaned photo.


I kitted this piece up as something quick to work on while company was over for the end of the holidays.


My camera really didn't enjoy the pink fabric I used here. It's a bit pinker in person and a bit less mauve. I modified this pattern just a tad, in the way of exclusions: there's a frame and a nametag originally part of it, but I didn't stitch them.


This was another practice in variegated threads, this time with Gloriana Ada's Rainbow. I bought this thread originally as a possibility for the center of my big embroidery rainbow flower, but went with the Threadworx instead for that piece. The Gloriana comes in much larger thread skeins (?) and was much more slippery. I really enjoyed working with it all the same. For the last little bit I picked a DMC cotton that matched the fabric - this makes up the tiny spokes on the large flower and was used for all the bead attaching.


Of course I was going to use beads instead of French Knots but I didn't want to put too much thought into it, so I grabbed a Size 15 tube of pre-mixed silver lined beads and picked them up as they came out of the tube. I only set down silver and brown beads as they don't fit into the colors already used.


Color Total: 2

Bead Total: 30

Size: ~4 x 8.5 inches
Time Total: 8 Hours
14 count pink Aida

Getting the gradient to work correctly is really, really difficult. Out of the experimenting I did I found crossing each X as you go (as opposed to making columns or rows before finishing your X's) makes for way nicer color spread. You can take any blackwork (or redwork, or whitework, etc) pattern and work a variegated thread with it instead, you should give it a go!
