Every time I unrolled Elizabeth she seemed off, like the crabass stitching her. But now that the border is becoming filled, great improvement in balance and she looks so much better. I knew she would be great when completed, but when the end is near and something doesn't look right, it's bothersome. Pleased as punch now.
After several attempts with different golds and their removal and reappearance, I decided to repeat just two vine motif colors and the leaf positions. The light thread looked OK but only visible when close enough to see it.
Hope your weekend is enjoyable!!
