Ta-Dah!
I also finished the stitching part of Lady Catherine's Slipper. I tried fixing the curlique that didn't match the corresponding curlique. I discovered that the permanent marker line was under the stitching. After pressing it, the transfer line doesn't show up so much. I also took a string of linen and tried to weave it in so as to cover the transfer line. Right now, I can't even see it. So maybe it worked.
I am in the process of finishing the slipper. I have to put in some tufting (where the white dots are), ladder stitch the soles together and make some black cording. I like how it turned out. The gold and black together are cool and I really like the silk lining fabric. Nifty.
I decided not to go to exercise class as my calf is still very sore and I limp a bit. I am not happy that I can't get in my steps. That will slow down the weight loss a lot. Rats. But I look forward to being better next week and getting back to walking. How could I have hurt myself just walking? It's crazy.

I really love the finished Impressionist´s Painting Project and to hear about your progress. I have this pattern(the magazine) and I wanted to stitch it too. Though so many projects on my work table as it is.
ReplyDeleteThe slipper is very delicate!
You are so talented Amy, and I truly enjoy every project you share with us, thanks for being such inspiration!

P.s my email is not working properly but I will write back to you as soon as I can.
The Impressionist piece...beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat slipper....not only gorgeous but SPECTACULAR!
Your impressionist piece looks wonderful but I agree with you that three plies of floss are not so easy to work with.
ReplyDeleteHope your calf muscle heals soon.
