And any color of thread that catches your eye is worth trying.bj paradyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17601731952781710406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19193398.post-83119662409764636522011-07-02T19:38:09.728-07:002011-07-02T19:38:09.728-07:00No maybe about it Rhonda.

Now, while that isn't always possible, it's a good precept to keep in mind. Effie's bold use of colour is also worth noting. Maybe you could try being a little less "safe" in your colour choices? It's worth a try, anyway!<br />Hope this helps.<br />RhondaRHONDAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17373777700517608045noreply@blogger.com
