The ones that I usually go for are the sort of muted pinky-purpley brown range - CC root beer float, jakey brown, cappuccino and WDW red pear - or blues like CC old blue jeans and GA barn grey. Do you have a favourite colour that you work in? Your pieces seem vary varied so it looks like you use a big palette of colours.Lunedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12061049315105452845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-15695998862486578102011-04-29T03:52:25.397-07:002011-04-29T03:52:25.397-07:00I am a firm believer that movies that are hard to ...I am a firm believer that movies that are hard to watch, should absolutely be watched! 1941 is on my list, thanks. <br /><br />Popular floss colours? That's a tough one, there are bound to be as many opinions as there are people. I love to open up all my containers of floss and just drool (discretely in a hankie, never on the floss). It seems that every time there is a different colour that grabs me. In my heart of hearts though, I do love that 'pop' of red.Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09013741487850845405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6479870152494411695.post-74068334405769089622011-04-28T18:29:38.743-07:002011-04-28T18:29:38.743-07:00I agree with you that red seems to be the most pop...I agree with you that red seems to be the most popular color of floss.

Almost every piece I've ever done has black in it. Maybe not a lot, but some. If you're talking quantity though, hmmmm...

The last one I did was "Home of a Quilter" an Amish style, which hangs above my bed :o)<br />I am into a lot of quilting/ hexagon EPP, right now, but I do have a beautiful floral alphabet sampler that just needs a little work to be finished.<br />I am interested in reading about movies, I do like old ones, too. although I go to the movies a couple of times a month with a friend, and I am looking forward to seeing ' Water for Elephants",I loved Miss Potter, and The King's Speech.<br />My mother has told me that " Waterloo Bridge" was a lovely but sad, movie. very old, I think Robert Taylor was in it. Bye for now!
