Notes

I wanted to do a C6 design to send to Ginny with the Katrina GITS. I really liked the orange and pink colorway. Signature Pixelles is slippy to wrap and a bit larger in size than cone thread. Pink thread did ok being stitched but should not be used for shorter stitches or many of them, it won't hold up in the needle. Nice fuzzy feel to this ball when done.

Given To

Ginny Thompson (an addition to the Katrina GITS)
