only one error. And that one moved a few other stitches and their color in that corner flower, no harm at all, no corrections needed. I've always had a problem with flowers and motifs that have scattered stitches, not easy for me to follow. I've tried coloring the chart before progressing, and then coloring each stitch after it was completed. Neither worked.
This border is taking some time, so I will do a section and then move to the interior. I am loving this piece of Ale and of course, it is very different from the second piece I ordered which is much darker, less mottled. This piece is similar to my Tobias (one piece of it, not my other!). I ordered a piece of Heartland for the large sampler I am kitting after seeing Nicole's two projects. Mine has very light mottling on the off white background, nothing as expected, so I am quite disappointed. Nicole's is highly distressed and fabulous. I'm not returning this piece, I will dye and hope for the best.
One thing that I should have noticed is the angled cut. My left margin will be narrower as I progress but since the fabric measures the same top and bottom, I didn't notice it.
Hope you all had a nice long weekend.
Thanks for visiting.

This is looking SOOOO good Marly! These colors and that linen play so very beautifully together! ~Robin~
Your stitching is very pretty.
I have trouble stitching on mottled fabric - the color changes I guess, impact my eyesight in a negative way. Your stitching looks beautiful, as always.
