Filed under: ANG Main Line Stitchers Chapter, Razzle Dazzle by Ann Strite-Kurz
The second ribbon of Razzle Dazzle by Ann Strite-Kurz is done now in both colorways. Phew!
Several observations . . .
There is a more obvious color variation in the overdyed thread for the teal colorway than the fall version. So, I color matched the Watercolours Mediterranean 068 placing the darker area on the outer edge moving to a lighter color near the center. It definitely makes a visual difference. I love the symmetry. The fall version has symmetry within each of the 4 ribbons but not necessarily across all 4 ribbons and you can’t see any difference.
Only someone very familiar with the design might see that the fall colorway used 3 threads and the teal used 4 threads. I wanted to pull in the Aquamarine Trebizond TRA701 used in the center diagonal areas of the teal colorway.
Here’s a close up.
Even closer. I love looking at these because they look so different.
What will Ribbon 3 bring? I will wait for our ANG Main Line Stitchers chapter meeting on September 14. I have other pieces needing my attention!
I am adding a black and white to see the impact of value. Thanks Diane for giving me the idea to share this too. So different.

I love both these colorways, the subtlety of the textures.

You know, I just changed my mind.
The fall colors have special depth…
Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, so tough to decide.

Comment by dmbstitch September 1, 2026 @ 6:03 pmYes, I think there is a wider variation in values. I need to add a black and white photo.
