Apples of Gold Pillowcase

This pillowcase set was actually made with gold and silver floss. That was an adventure. It took me a few tries to keep the distance between stitches even and to keep the thread from tangling. However, the final result is, as you can see, fabulous! I used regular floss for the leaves and stems and highlighted it with the gold so that you get the illusion that they sparkle too. This was inspired by a verse in Proverbs where it speaks of "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver." (Proverbs 25:11)
