Here is my dilema: I just realized that I stitched the border of Eleonora's Box in the wrong color.
I was just following what I had stitched on the needle case. The border was green. But on the box the border is dark blue.
So, do I take it out? Do I just make it green on the other sides too? Do I just make it the right color on the sides? Do I just forget that I noticed it's the wrong color?
Then when I looked at the photo of Treasured Tools, I noticed that the flowers were not medium mauve as the chart says but mocha mauve (light pink). I think I'll change them. I like the lighter color better and it is only seven flowers. I've already changed one, so six to go.
I've got almost all the back of the scissors case done. I can finish this today.
I'm very excited as I got the passwords for the Amy Mitten classes. I got notification that the kits have been mailed. They should be here this week. I printed out some of the lessons. The charts for the Quaker bag are huge! I printed 61 pagegs of directions - and that's just the Quaker bag - so far. What am I getting myself into??? (Then I remind myself that I actually made the mermaid one so I know I can do this!) The other kit I got was Friesland Threadwinder Holder. I've made the Vierlande one and it was fantastic. I learned so much. This one should be easier since I've done one before and have more experience. I love the colors in this one. I'm a blue girl. I love everything to be pretty blue. I was actually thinking of putting in a bit of blue on the Quaker bag, but we'll see.

Hi Amy. Beautiful work! I love the colors as you have them. Liked the flowers darker actually. You sure take on some challenging pieces.
ReplyDeleteI am curious. Are you planning any trips soon?

ReplyDeleteHi Amy
ReplyDeleteI think I would take out the border - it isn't that much to frog ;) and you still have the other 3 sides to go.... unless you want it to match the needle case...
I am doing Amy Mitten's Quaker sewing bag too. I am going to try and keep up with the lessons, this time!
