My title is a bit of a pun as what should have been straight forward was not. I was all ready to go yesterday morning, however, fresh eyes and a photo and I realized it looked unfinished. Unfortunately yesterday was already planned so it had to wait until this morning. My apologies but here it is hot off the press.
I have now corded the stems and added more quilting. Applique and quilting on a whole cloth. I now have a slightly wavy border which hopefully will settle but will not be flat in the end. I can live with it.
What a beautiful piece, Phil. Your machine quilting is to die for. Love the leaves creeping over the edge. It looks like a very tactile textural piece.
ReplyDeletePhil I really like your piece - you have really produced a beautiful piece of work so well done. I too really like the overall design, the quilting and the fact that your roses are so well executed. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love the quilting and the way your leaves leave the scene!
ReplyDeleteRosemary A wonderful piece and I really like the way you have used the cording. The background quilting is superb
