Here is the finished snowflake. I finished it while I was in church with mom and sis. Well, not during the service, but waiting for mom and sis to finish talking and drive to eat out.
There was a Moderator from the General Assambly (Presbyterian) visiting PR and he was staying with Letty and the husband. He's (my BIL) a minister of the Presbyterian Church in Guaynabo, PR. So after the service we went to Cayey to a famous area known better as "La Ruta del Lechon" (The Pork's Route) to take the visitor to eat a Puerto Rican dinner. There are dozens of little restaurant where the specialty is the roasted pork, a traditional plate here in PR. It's kinda similar to the Hawaiian Lau. But the one here is made in a pole over the open flame and roasted until it's cooked inside and the skin is crispy. I didn't eat a lot of meat, I stoped eating pork a couple of years ago. But anyway I eat the "Yellow" rice with the Pigeon Peas; green boiled bananas, yucca, roasted sweet potatoes, lilac "yautia" and sweet yellow platain. To drink a couple of glasses of "Acerola" juice. Oh my! This is a typical Sunday meal. There was a live band playing some Merengue and Salsa and a few people were dancing. I forgot my camera today.
So I couldn't take a picture. But if my sister transfer the one she took I'll post it here.
Anyway.... (Geesh I always deviate from the theme) The snowflake was a pretty cool pattern to do. And I'm in love with this thread. The thread I used definitively is the "Silco" that is a cotton but works like silk. The varigated color is pretty too. I think I'll be ordering some more beofre I return to Egypt. This thread is a little expensive but the resutl is great! I greatly recommend this thread for any of us that love to wrok with finer threads. The size is similar to a DMC #80 or a cordonette #100. I still have some leftover so I'll be making something else. Probably will be sufficient for a big butterfly if I combine it with other thread. I got some Hand Quilting Gutterman in black that would work very well with this color. Let see what I invent later.
