Courtney Cerruti for Anna Maria's Conservatory
Long Distance is inspired by some of my favorite motifs and craft traditions across cultures. It brings together Japanese printmaking processes alongside references to hand-painted French wallpaper and tiny delicate florals. Traditional elements are updated by a shift in scale and a contemporary color palette. Adding figures to these motifs creates a conversation across time and place, rooting these prints in the present. I love the variety of prints in this collection. Some feel bright and happy, like tiny celebrations on fabric, while others seem to whisper subtly to one another. Long Distance is life on fabric; it’s light and airy, dark and sophisticated, a collection of moments gathered together over countries and lifetimes.

1 Strand Metallic Rayon Thread, 8wt, 6ply, 50yd. Starry Night Dazzle color selection by Kim Rado for WonderFil.
A sturdy 6-ply thread, Dazzle™ is comparable in weight to a #8 perle cotton. This is 100% rayon and metallic mix carries a naturally bright lustre with a silky finish, making it an excellent choice for crafts, crochet, knitting, and highlighting the details on dimensional stitches. Because of Dazzle's™ light reflective properties and "pop" of metallic, the detail on wool appliqué and layering can be enhanced with edging stitches for that extra sparkle.
These colours have been selected by quilt designer Kim Rado. Using 3-toned rayon threads twisted together with a strand of metallic, this line of Dazzle™ thread is perfect for adding a few pops of colour similar to a variegated thread.
Ideal for hand embroidery, bobbin work, serging, couching, knitting, crochet, tassels, cording, fringes, bead work, crafts.
