I need symmetry in projects. Many a sampler has had motifs or verse centered or balanced when possible. I can look at a wood project and tell you if the trim or door is off 1/4 inch, same when studying a chart. The outline border of these three had me puzzled.
When stitching, I make my routine mistake of continuing without checking the chart, assuming they align. I counted top, side, angle, thought the opposite was the same. It ain't. A frog-o-rama ensued. I patched and corrected the lower right side and bottom to make them equal. Two stitches need correction on the patch yet.
So I changed the straight bottom stitch count to match the top, moved the right angle, it lined up with the side. This pushed the angle out two rows and bottom down one, all is aligned now. I'm OK.
Reduced those bottom angles to two rows (instead of charted three) of the outer outline to match the sides and top which have two rows.
I see the pumpkin design top is 18 across, bottom is 20, so I will use my amended chart for all three rather than do this for each of the three. Nothing wrong with the chart, just my own preference for symmetry.
Lungs CT scan is on hold. Doc said I've had too many, lots of radiation can cause an issue.
Bye.

I think that may have bothered me as well. Hmmm on the scan. How many/often have you had them? I get one every year....and you have me wondering if I should be concerned. I'd gladly put mine on hold too as they always seem to find something new that wasn't there on the last one.
(((those tricky designers))) lol
