I have stitched basic cross, herringbone, eyelet, and removed them all. A dividing band beneath the date just didn't look right. In red ... NO. In blue ... wow. In gold ... yes. But it looked unfinished without stitching over the date also. Maybe just a simple row above and beneath in gold. But not until I fix the error unnoticed until this photo, of the dates not being level. Good grief. I've had enough !!!!
The trim I had planned in blue cording is too strong. Braid of the blue and the gold, better. Again, as with this entire piece, nothing is final. Working without a chart is not easy unless it's a sampler.
But after many attempts, removals, and reworks, I'm happy with my eagle.
I was going to tell you to enjoy your weekend but ....
it's Tuesday.
So enjoy your Wednesday.
