Re: Agi's stitching
Yes, I was thinking a stretch might help (the fabric, not you ) before you take a lot of trouble frogging and adding!

Re: Agi's stitching
I agree. I think if you stretch it, the design will look fine with the frame

Re: Agi's stitching
Too late I only frogged one of the bluebells and a small one of the pink flowers but added some more lines, flowers, leafs to make them more evenly spaced - it has been washed and ironed again, waiting for it to dry now.

Re: Agi's stitching
It's done! Tadaaaa:
I managed to put the motifs more or less in the middle of the rectangles - if you look closely you can see how I adjusted some of the patterns.
I am so glad
Now I only need some bookselves to finish furnishing my flat so I can hang this and some other ones on the wall... if there is any wallspace left after my books are packed out

Re: Agi's stitching
Thank you Who would have thought that a cheap frame from Tesco could cause me so much pleasure... can't wait for my boyfriend to see it - he is a great Nature-lover, being a biologist, and is arriving to visit me on Thursday

Re: Agi's stitching
Fabulous finish Agi! It looks amazing in that frame, and it's quite difficult technically to stitch a design to sit in a multi-aperture frame. I wouldn't risk it, so good for you for making it work so well!!
Do you mean to tell me you are not a native English speaker? I'm flabbergasted!! Your written English is so good I assumed you were from UK/US and had emigrated to Hungary. Please never apologise for your (non-existent) mistakes, there are plenty plenty English people who are barely literate. You knock spots off them!!benceagi wrote:(And I apologise for my mistakes in English and typing - I do realise I make more than usual when I read through my posts, but I might not notice everything.)
