The card that I fell in love with and wanted to replicate in stitches, but my piece is smaller than I had planned. I just couldn't manage to work those six rows of solid red any further.
Next step is finishing into an ornament or cupboard tuck. I want to age the edges like the card in addition to other areas, probably with a soft brush and an ink pad rather than dye. I tried 680 (dark gold) for the year, it looked good, and I was surprised at how it changed the feel of the piece. Pick a color woman! So I chose the lighter but you can do it in the blue, gold, beige, whatever would look best on your fabric (mine is Tin Roof that I dipped in brown dye). I guess I should post the chart first .... tomorrow if anyone is interested.

I would never have thought to duplicate the image on the card to a sewing piece. It's great and will do for sure. Thanks for sharing with us.
Well done Marly.
a beautiful piece Marly..everything is inspiration for stitching...but then you say Tin Roof and I think of ice cream sundaes...
Oh, that is wonderful, Marly!! I love reading about your process of creating, choosing colors, etc. Would love to see the posted chart--thank you!
Yes, please. I'm looking for something to stitch for the holiday - am traveling in a couple of days so this would be a great piece to take with me. :) blessings, marlene
Since you fell in love with the card, wouldn't a standing flat fold be the perfect finish? That's what I would love to do! Thanks for sharing!
Marly: You are an amazing designer, thank-you for sharing this beauty with us, it is lovely.
