I am being a little bit cheeky not showing the overall piece - hopefully when I do you will find the balance ok. <br />I often blend threads for subtle colour variations, but not with wool I find it gets way too bulky. Good idea though.Anna https://www.blogger.com/profile/02942756202056729563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-37446598405075134632013-12-02T06:49:04.205+10:302013-12-02T06:49:04.205+10:30Doesn't it go like that sometimes?

I think using two colours is what prevents the stem from looking too heavy - the lighter shade looks like it is reflecting a little sunshine along the side. What a great rescue job!

As Wendy mentioned, you already have some other areas completely covered, so to me it looks more balanced. I love the rich gold colours too -- so nice and warm!Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12224346283881001640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-8162333080718222742013-12-02T02:44:10.719+10:302013-12-02T02:44:10.719+10:30it's beautiful.

I think I prefer the interlocking blanket stitch, the rest of the piece has fairly dense stitching so it goes really well.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05167739272302561918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-25023528300694558182013-12-01T22:26:18.915+10:302013-12-01T22:26:18.915+10:30The ladder effect is really good.

How about a warm cosy corner cushion with a braided twisted cord around the edge and William Morris print on the reverse. I have another thought..as you are teaching and travelling what a bout a folder that has felt leaves to hold stitcheries in progress and the folder cover is this stitchery? I have a block book for my quilting so similiar theme....dont have to have so many hoops tied up with work.?Robyn annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13257245717668991227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7119166177210424241.post-8279142562632170172013-12-01T15:04:23.973+10:302013-12-01T15:04:23.973+10:30I definitely like the second option with the sides...I definitely like the second option with the sides of the stems filled in, although I'm not sure I care for the two different colors. It seems unbalanced to me somehow, with the lighter color on one side and the darker on the other. Maybe if you used both colors in the needle to make a blended color? Just a thought, remember, I haven't a creative bone in my body :). <br /><br />Cynthia Gilbrethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124840580430749378noreply@blogger.com
