I started covering the couched lines with blue twisted silk. Between the double strands, the twisting, and the underlayer, the lines pop off the fabric. I also started a new Dick Francis novel: Driving Force. Our hero has a fleet of horse vans and the first mysterious dead body just appeared.
Next week: more flames!
embroidery for ducks 
I love the blue! Such a lovely contrast to the flames.
The raised lines are really striking, aren’t they!
Beautiful embroidery, and I love Dick Francis too.
