Today's job was blocking out my wholecloth. The middle picture is the best match to the colour but has the shadow from the window pane right across it.
Really enjoyed stitching this one even though I went to bed with sore arms many times. The first colour I used was a ecru that was slightly darker than the backing. I then accentuated the flowers and stems with gold metallic thread using the ecru as the bobbin thread.
Pleased to say that you have to really hunt to find even a hint of gold on the underside.
Glad of that lovely Bernina tension!
All I have to do now is the hanging sleeve! :o)
