Instead of 924, I moved to 930 and then tried one shade lighter. The 931 is still strong enough in color yet not as sharp a contrast with the linen, and coverage looks much better. Looks even better than the craptastic photo. I am really surprised this worked because the other lighter shades did not, glad that I continued messing with it.
These mundane posts have been showing up because I am not able to do much other than bug you. The good news - there is now air flowing through one nostril. Progress! The bad news - not much left for the trick-or-treaters. Snickers peanut butter bars are much better than I expected. Reese cups never make it to the treat hour so I do not buy them, but these won't either. I'll put on my red rubber boots, the sunglasses with only one lens, my red paint stained sweatshirt, and with my bulbous red nose, 28# cold sore, and unwashed wild hair, they will forget all about a treat when the door opens.

I like the 931 and your stag looks good!
The 931 looks great! I may be just a touch biased though - 931 is my go-to blue in DMC as I love the fading denim shade. You know what I just realized? Bet if I held my 931 bobbin up to my bedroom walls (whose paint I did *not* pick by taking floss to my neighborhood orange hardware store!), it would probably match.
Brilliant idea for making sure you get all the Snickers peanut butter bars. ;)
Try the Snickers with almonds. YUM!!!
looks great with the 931...Will be working so no need for candy...tell that to the bag of tiny tootsie rolls in my car...
LMAO!!
You made me laugh.....a great way to start my week. It's cold and windy - not my idea of a pleasant day; however, going to a friends house to make Scandinavian star fabric ornaments (https://craftingarainbow.wordpress.com/2015/12/06/scandinavian-fabric-stars/). Lots of fun, especially when you make them with a friend. My fabrics are all reproduction (dull/darker) and she is a quilter with amazing fabrics. I make an ornament for each of my grandchildren every year and this time I'll make then a bright star. I'm using her fabric (so generous) and then I'll take her to lunch. Hope you feel better and maybe you'll want to make a star for one of your trees. I made one with my fabric and like it for my tree.
Oh yes, that is a better color and coverage. Your stitches are perfect! Hugs!
that is a gorgeous, rich shade of blue and looks great! I am typically a two thread girl also, but the just one on this pattern is perfect.
I like the shade of blue you've chosen. Hope you feel better and better each day. I haven't opened the candy yet, but watch out when I do. Hubby bought 800 snack size bars and we only get about 20-25 trick-or-treaters. I think we'll be eating lots of chocolate around here, lol.
Nice finish from Linda. Hey I don't know if they work but have you checked out those scare away balloons from Amazon. They look fun anyway. They have scary spiders too.
