The challenge with this Or Nué Lotus Blossom is that lots of needles need to be working simultaneously. I don’t want to carry the gold Japanese Silk couching thread across the large center design. So, I have one one each side. There are 3 colors but the center lightest color repeats on the far left and right sides so that is 2 more needles. With the long (4.5 yards) strand of Radiance 13, that makes 8 needles to juggle. I brought my threads up in the hole of the next stitch, laid the Radiance, and then couched with the colored threads first.
Here it is done. I’ll look for a small frame at Michael’s.
