The bathrooms are clean so I'm off to other (and more fun) stuff. I am working on Diligence. I'm putting in the honeycomb on the ort container. It is a bit challenging as metal thread is usually difficult to work with.
Sometimes Amy Mitten uses vintage threads but I don't know if this is vintage or not. In our kit is some Thread Heaven.
I haven't used this before but I like how it helps the thread cooperate. There is interfacing on this part so I'm stitching with a metal thread through interfacing, muslin and silk. The thread gets caught on a regular basis. Then I have to snip off the end and rethread the needle.
This is the perfect thread for stitching the honeycomb in spite of the drawbacks. I like how it looks.
I am about half done with three more sections to go. I'd love to try stitching a bee.

Looking good. I don't like working with metallic thread, but I do like the way it looks on a finished piece.
