ReplyDeleteThis has been so fascinating watching your progress:-)
ReplyDeleteThe end is in sight! Do you find that your later leaves and flowers are any different from the first? (I hope not!)
ReplyDeleteI hope not too! I think the way I'm stitching them has remained constant, and the colours certainly have (I'm still using the same reels of thread as I started with, happily), and while the shapes of the flowers are a bit different, they're supposed to be, to give the naturalistic meadow feel I'm after.
ReplyDeleteI suppose the test will come when the final panel is finished and I start putting it together, but I'll worry about that later!
