My Favorite Colors in Anchor Floss.

Someone asked me to post my favorite Anchor Baby Colors.
These are some of my favorites
The Blue Featherstitchin is #120 and the Pink Rosebuds are #48 with either #1042 or #213 Green leaves.

The #1037 is a softer blue and the #271 is a softer pink.  Good for new baby clothes!

Here is my work table as I am packaging the floss.

I usually take the packs with me when I teach but had not gotten round to putting them on my blog.
This request was the incentive I needed.

For several different packs of my favorite floss go Here!

Reilly is really as unfriendly as he looks!  He's just old.
But he loves me.

Gorgeous shades, Jeannie.....do you ever use DMC ?

I will occasionally use DMC but I began using Anchor years ago because the baby color shades are very slightly different (especially the greens) and I liked the Anchor best. DMC is a good floss too.

Thank you so much for the information Jeannie! Reilly looks as though he's supervising your packaging :) Absolutely adorable kitty.
