I told you a while back about Gina's family bringing some of her threads to Tat Days. Least I think I did but there again I may not!!! Well during the regular guild meeting the following Saturday after Tat Days a bag was produced with her remaining threads in. Well I decided that I was already heading towards a full suitcase and wouldn't look at all.
All good plans of mice and men suddenly came to a halt when I spotted some fluorescent sewing thread in the bag which was being rummaged in behind where I was sitting. It was really weird as I'm sure Gina sent a lightening bolt to me to pick them out. She always knew I had a strange 'take' on colours and it was almost as if she'd put them there to tempt me!!!
Here is the Garden Motif that I taught that day worked up in them while I was sitting talking with Joanie and Sally during the following few days. I made a huge boo boo on the one with yellow as I missed out some picots. I decided to finish it though as I'm a stubborn old git!!! I used the thread doubled but it wasn't that easy to tat with. I'll certainly be playing with these threads again - you wait and see!!!!!

Morning Jane , just trying to adjust my eyes, my that was bright, on this dull rainy morning you nearly blow my eyes out of their sockets. Lovely colours, I am sure Gina would be proud of what you did with her thread.

I like the orange-blue one so much, great color selection! And it's so nice to see, how Gina's heritage persists. ( I hope it is the rigth phrase:) )
Those will certainly glow in the dark!
I needed sunglasses to look at the first one! - love the colours.
You will have to make something very special with these threads.
wow - I like these
Whoa! That woke me up! Serves me right... I don't think I should open blog posts with only a few sips of coffee on board. ;-)
Lovely color choices! I think Gina would enjoy what you've done with them. I especially like the blue and orange.
Wow...shoulda had some coffee first, but I usually head right for my tatting blog fix and then worry about my coffee after :-). Fun bright threads, certainly a treasure due to the source...and nicely combined in these!
Love the blue and orange one - the yellow one is nice, but so bright I had to wear shades to look at it!
Me too! Love that blue and orange! That is a tricky combo, but when it is right it is awesome!
Fox : )
Those look so fun!!! :)
Good to see those motifs again. It was such a priviledge to be one of the receipients of some of Gina's threads, and hope to use some of them soon.
Wow those are bright! I love them. :)
