Started quilting the Beech leaves. Now I am in a quandary! This is a horrid picture stuck on my design board and full of pins but just intended to remind you. The quandary involves those golden "sun spots" top left and far right. Here's what I am doing at the moment....
 |
| Quilting this background called for an interesting thread colour- a purply brown, as that's what the colours are in this hand dyed background piece. |
 |
| I have done my background quilting around most of the leaves where the background is dark. |
NOW.....!!!!! I am ready to start thinking of how to quilt those "sunny " patches. Here they are...
 |
| This is the top left one and... |
 |
| This is the far right bit, behind the leaves. |
The problem is this. Do I do it all in this deep purple brown thread with the curved lines I have used behind the leaves, keep the same pattern and change thread colour to a goldy-er thread colour or- do I change thread colour AND pattern, maybe a small stipple??? I am truly buffaloed. Now I wish I had made a different background piece. What do YOU think? All suggestions gratefully accepted.
HELP!!!!
Maybe as it is Wednesday, I'll post this over to the
needleandthreadnetwork.blogspot.com There are LOTS of creative minds over there. Have a look!!
Always LOVE to see your amazing work up-close !!!
ReplyDeleteThanks ! :-)
sorry, forgot, might be good to keep the darker colour in the yellow (in a slightly wider pattern ?)
ReplyDeleteYou'll "know" in the end what is best !
Thanks for this Els and thanks for your vote of confidence 👏🏻👏🏻
DeleteI love what you've done so far! My first instinct is to say use the same thread colour on the lighter sections. But if you're not sure, perhaps it's time to do some testing. Do you have more of the lighter background fabric to experiment with?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Terry. Yeah, I want enough of the gold to set off the dark leaves but not enough to make it a second centre of interest. I'll likely go with the same colour or maybe a deepish brown. I do have a bit more fabric but, as it is a hand dye, the colours are slightly different at that end of the piece and it is so small it doesn't really show. Anyway, stay tuned an dthanks for your input!
DeleteWhatever you do will be lovely.
ReplyDeleteOne of the easiest decision I have ever made was when I accepted to get married to a man I thought was my soul mate, my lover for 2yrs. He was the most handsome and honest man I have ever encountered, he was so kind respectful to me and my entire family. He gave me the reason to spend my entire life with him. I enjoyed 3yrs of love and sweet romance as his wife before the devil came into our home, his ex-girlfriend worked voodoo on him, she made him show me the bad side of him and also caused our divorce. The most annoying part was when she tried to take my life spiritually and physically, fighting to ensure am thoroughly erased from my husband before she takes over. It was getting tensed till the extent that I couldn’t sleep both day and night because she must be there to trouble me.Story short, I used the only available options left which was prophet ogidi a{MIRACLECENTER110@GMAIL.COM} before I lose everything including my life. Prophet ogidi was the last option because every other sources failed and his love spell worked wonders after 7days which saw the evil lady flee from us with immediate effect, the divorce case was reconciled within days as well.Since after the spell, I finally knew how to treat wicked and jealous people and a whole new lot of thing from prophet ogidi Happiness and joy has been in abundance in my family for the past 8months after the love spell.you can also call/whatsapp him at 2348182260982
