Feeling Blue
I was actually looking for some thread for another project but when I came across GAST Old Blue Paint I thought it would be perfect for what I had in mind for CarolR's Sew Blue. Then I was sure I had some fabric, so was on the hunt for that. Unfortunately it wasn't the right blue but... in there was another piece that matched the GAST wonderfully well. (Oh just realised I haven't taken a photo of that...you'll just have to believe me and imagine. LOL!) I knew I had pins that would do just the job as I'd just put them in the new boxes a few days ago. But then it turned sour. Obviously I had a pinkeep in mind. What about the trim. No blue was to be found that would match. :( Woo-hoo for ECRU! Thinking about it I needed a contrast for the blue pins anyway. So here is my version.
