I use white and neutrals a lot, and there was a time when I hand painted and dyed trims to go with the CQ, but I haven't done that in a long time, though I still have my OZEDYES in many colors. I think I would like either 3 different trims same color or one trim, three different colors. For me, 1 yard is always enough, but for someone finishing a stitchery with lace all around, 2 yards might be better. Does it have to be one or the other? Definitely a primitive set, to match some of the stitcheries on your blog sidebar, I would think. I like the idea of paler colors, maybe not as light as pastel, but heading in that direction. The RWB, definitely, Christmas and Halloween/autumn, spring? Maybe see what does well.Susan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09159163720029661287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103699536981617440.post-2497301837072404862016-07-18T18:01:32.682-07:002016-07-18T18:01:32.682-07:00Very good point about doing several in a series.

As to the size for the 3-pack, I like the idea of a variety of sizes! And I love the idea of 2 yards instead of one! That way if someone had several ornaments in a series, for example, they might be able to match better. Whatever you choose to do, I am sure it will be as lovely as everything else you do, which is saying a lot! :)Pam Koontzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10063940369906074224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103699536981617440.post-61232434099775087472016-07-18T04:38:33.219-07:002016-07-18T04:38:33.219-07:00All sounds good.

It would be so nice to have the options to choose from without having to run out and find something different, especially if you're under a time limit. And definitely 2 yards! If someone is doing a series of charts, it would be great to have the larger amount on hand because I often do a lot of finishing at once and hate to scramble around looking for the right thing/amount. As for color selections, definitely Christmas, patriotic, neutrals and maybe an Autumn set would be wonderful :-)<br /><br />Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06510827707594066656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3103699536981617440.post-80787028210250300872016-07-17T18:13:56.096-07:002016-07-17T18:13:56.096-07:00I like to have the neutral colors and would love t...I like to have the neutral colors and would love to see packs of different trims in the same colors.
