Above is a sampling of some of the chenille colors. They are so soft, like a fuzzy blanket. I talked to Alma Allen of Blackbird Designs last fall and asked her if I dyed this stuff, would she use it. Her answer was, "Of course we would!!!" Showed it to a couple of shops and they loved it too. Excellent for trimming just about anything needlework or incorporated into your project. I see it on wool applique making a little rose flower to give the piece dimension! Let me know what you think!!
Above are some sample shots of our 1" rick rack. We will be carrying it in four sizes, which will work from tiny pinkeeps or trimming a quilt. The possibilities are quite endless.
These are an example of some of the other sizes we'll be carrying. Don't worry, there will be quarter inch size too.
So what do you think? Leave me a comment over the next few days and put your full name and email in the post and say something nice about the new pretties! The only other rule is that you need to be a follower of this blog. I'll pull a winner and that person will get some one-yard lengths of some of the chenille and rick rack!
Let needle meet thread!!

Love, love, love the new chenille. The colors are yummy! The pinks and purple are just beautiful. Can't wait fir the stores to have them. sammi916@comcast.net
My gosh, I'm drooling over the chenille trims!
I think the new additions are absolutely fabulous. I can't wait until they are available.
Thank you for the generous giveaway and the chance to win. As a Belle Soie addict, I think the new products look like they will coordinate beautifully with your silks. *drool* I can't help but wonder if I would use the new products in my bag-making, stitching/finishing, or whatever else my creative mind may come up with.

Just perfect!!!! I love the colors, and if Alma and Barb use them, so will I because I love BBD :-)
These are absolutely gorgeous!!! The chenille is such a different thing to use for finishing, and I absolutely can't wait to try it! The rick rack is equally as beautiful. The possibilities are endless with finishing supplies such as these!

Purdy, purdy, purdy! Love the colors Sharon :o) Would love a chance to win a sample! Thank you.
I don't know if the word luscious applies to textiles but that's the first word that came to mind when I saw these. They're WONDERFUL!
I'm already a follower of yours and love your cotton and silk flosses. I guess you could say I'm a fan. :-)

Gorgeous! I can see lots of ornament finishes with these beauties. Thanks for the generous giveaway.
These are a great idea. I like to use these softer dyed colors on finishing my projects and they have been so hard to find. I can't wait to add them into my designing. Wendy Peatross madebywendy@gmail.com (From the Heart)
When I saw these I was like a cat in catnip..I want to roll around in them and have them wrap all around me! I immediately tried to match a couple colors for some finishing ideas. Can't wait to get my hands on them!
