Sometimes a little touch like that can make all the difference!Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703415315027612176.post-35685650510940551072012-04-16T19:35:57.287-04:002012-04-16T19:35:57.287-04:00Good to meet another Tilton fan!

I am so jealous that you work at Sawyer Brook, although if I worked there I would have to have a second job to support the first job. I would never have thought of using variegated thread for top stitching, what an awesome idea, so many possibilities.ElleChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16656569539140359204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703415315027612176.post-12094139527511080992012-04-16T00:03:24.899-04:002012-04-16T00:03:24.899-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703415315027612176.post-49236026896517301742012-04-16T00:01:08.360-04:002012-04-16T00:01:08.360-04:00Hi Martha - Have you visited Sawyer Brook?

When I run out of thread, or want to find a fabric to match another in my stash, I simply walk down the hall!Dixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712003004658269721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703415315027612176.post-62949640430709621632012-04-15T21:29:00.024-04:002012-04-15T21:29:00.024-04:00Judi, I think your idea could work!

I wonder what would happen if you added strips of contrasting fabric on a raw edge to stabilize it like Marcy said, but let the strips stick out about 1/4 inch beyond the raw edge for trim? Maybe it would look tacky?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7703415315027612176.post-26101039297708055732012-04-14T19:55:17.649-04:002012-04-14T19:55:17.649-04:00Oh my gosh, what a beautiful top! i love the style...Oh my gosh, what a beautiful top! i love the style.
