Laura Wasilowski of Artfabrik blog recommends using variegated thread to add life to hand stitching. She says,
Changes in color value or hue make the surface more active and tantalize the eye. I’m making small quilts and I want to draw the viewer closer and hold their attention.
Her variegated seed stitching, shown here, clearly illustrates her point. The same stitches in a single hue would not be so lively. Great tip, Laura!
And many thanks to Scarlett, editor of CraftGossip’s quilting blog, for sharing this find.
