    Dear gita and prabha,

    I am a subscriber of needle and thread magazine. but it comes to me in india.

    It is part of the coats family.
    I think if you are in chennai there is an shop, in alwarpet eldams road (craft basket, hope it is right, visited long long ago, really miss it. you get the copy.)

    Coats India

    gives the address in your areas. you can call and get the numbers. even for classes conducted and other info.

    hope it is useful.

    shanthi.

    Dear Meena

    Just now only I saw your post.

    Blue color looks good, but the thing is you keep in mind the color combination of your saree for selecting threads. Better to use colors that are in your saree. Usually on copper sulfate blue, white and yellow looks good. Also take into consideration what color of swarovski crystals you are using. If the saree is in single color (I think it will be blue only), then use yellow and white. After finishing work, do upload it in IL.

    Love
    Varudhini

    Dear varu,

    It's the hand marbled pure silk saree that I picked up at the Aurobindi Ashram, Pondicherry.
    You must be knowing the pattern now. It has lighter to slightly darker shads of blue, white, very little pink scattered all over. I've used SCrystals all over the saree and concentrated more at the pallu.
    I'll use the same color SCrystals on blouse too. I might not have those roses what you've posted here. jsut the crystals.
    I think I'll go for white threads possibly.
    will take the opinion from a designer friend before I finalise.
    thank you for your advise. will le tyou know my decision.

    Love,

    Dear Varudhini,
    your works are amazing. :2thumbsup:
    Are plain sarees or churidhar materials available in Khadi silk? Does it have shining like silk? I haven't heard of such material yet, living here it is hard to find out such things.
    Keep posting more Varudhini.
