I've not pressed it or trimmed it yet since I'm waiting for the basket to appear. :) But I do love the beautiful colors in this and found the perfect piece of fabric for borders. The pattern is this one:
I bought this at a shop in Branson, MO several weeks ago when we were on spring break with some of our grandchildren. I think I'll be stitching it more than once but I hope I don't have to do any UNstitching when I do it next - this time I don't know what happened but that upper right corner was way off when I finished it. I had to take that whole line out and restitch. I did change one color from the pattern. It called for a purple for the letters and it just didn't speak to me. :)
I love the sweet flowers on this; it just says spring I think.
oh that is pretty Marlene....and amazing it is ....even if your name is not GRACE
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. I love the colors. I love the look of hand stitching, I wish I had the patience.
ReplyDeleteMarlene, your piece is so sweet. I love the colors you choose. If I had what you need I would give it to your right now.
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty and will be perfect in a basket. It's great to be able to pick up the stitching for just a few minutes and watch it slowly grow.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what a moment here and there can accomplish. It's a beautiful piece.
