I actually can't decide what to do!
As I thought I'd like a retro effect… I thought I'd put ric rac circles around my appliqué.
I found a lovely linen ric rac..but now think it looks too heavy.. Also I bought all they had.. now I don't think there will be enough for the small squares :(
Then I found a lovely small blue ric rac…. stitched it on with grey thread… and it looks too solid!! even when I use blue thread… you can't see the little waves….
I'm loving everyone else's work… do you think I should give up and blanket stitch????
I've also just had cataract surgery on my right eye last Thursday…(and the left eye 4weeks ago) so seeing anything close up is a little frustrating at the moment!!..
Does this mean I can get an extension Chooky???? PLEASE?????
Cheers Lea

As I replied to you before and I should have put here - I like the ric rac - and maybe the little blocks can have something different - a thicker thread and a running stitch...
I quite like the look of both ric rac ... perhaps a mix of both?
