So, I have 3 options - * unpicked the whole right hand border (hardly an option)
* rejig the offending leaf and unpick and resew the right hand side
of the inner border
* leave it just as it is...and hope it is not too obvious
Cannot face the first option, averse as I am to unpicking anything.
Option 3 I know will not be good as I will see it forever and it will drive me crazy, plus I would have to dodgy up the other side of the inner border and do the corresponding leaf with an extra long stem.......no, no can't face that option - samplers are by definition very neat and balanced and, I have to admit, just a tiny bit anal (in the nicest possible way you understand). Anyway here are some pictures....you will see how much I have done and hopefully understand how I cannot go with unpicking......
Could just spit....2 stitches out....that is all it takes - Golden Wood with it flexibility seems almost restful by comparison |
OH NO!!!! This is the prob with samplers you don't have adjacent stitches to go off. I think the option listed above is the best way to go. Just frog the leaf and move the inner border over. It's not that noticeable I had to really hunt for the error and only found it cos u said it was there. But I know I know - you will know it's there. And I want you to look at the sampler with love and fondness and not regret that you didn't take the time to fix the mistake. Love ya - see u sunday and will give u big hugs xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes thanks lovie....I have decided that is what I will do....but the momentum is gone at the moment...am back to Golden Wood and I will fix the sampler on the next round....I am onto the second Elvish lady in the Wood and have discovered I have made a mistake on the face (of all places)so have to do some reverse sewing there too.....(BIG SIGH)
ReplyDeleteOr option 4....stick to quilting for sanity sake.

Yes...at least if you make a mistake in a quilt you can quilt it out....(generally speaking) !!!!!
