Here it is. All finished! This one took a really long time to finish, but there are some things I would change about the way I work next time.
I had some difficulties getting it to iron out smoothly at the end of it all. I'm fairly new to ironing in general. Anyone have any tips?
It's still very snowy here, and the weather forecast says we're getting our first winter storm tonight. What were the last three days then? Friday night we passed three car accidents while navigating our way home. None seemed very serious, but people were sliding off the road.
I like the snow, as long as I'm not out in it.
Last night we baked sugar cookies and did some watercolour doodling. I love watercolour.

I love it! Such beautiful colours together!
ReplyDeleteAs long as everything is pre-shrunk, I would recommend spritzing it with water and then ironing it with a very hot iron on the wrong side. You could even try putting a clean towel underneath it, to preserve the textures of the stitches. :)
It's amaaaazing Lori! More more more
ReplyDeleteThanks Haley! will try to...
ReplyDeleteI will try that, thanks :)
ReplyDeleteLori, it's gorgeous! I love it.
ReplyDeleteI always get my entire embroidery completely wet after I'm done and it tightens right back up. At least if it is on linen.
Happy stitching!
Hi JoAnn, thanks for the tip!
