Hi, Iris,
attached is a pic of my versions of your wonderful TIAS, using hand-dyed
threads (I think Marilee's, but I've lost the labels; the green may be
Sherry's). In the purple one, the use of the variegated may
significantly reduce the contrast inherent in your design. That's why
I started the second one, to emphasize the contrast. See where I ran
out of thread?!

Thank you for all the work in designing and preparing the TIAS for us.
It's so fun!!
Big, big hugs,

Katie, the color is so beautiful!
