Took your advice and bought a pair of cheap reading glasses. Wow I can see the linen threads! I thought my glasses with bifocals would be enough--no way. Anyways I'm back enjoying stitching again although I taking out alot of missed X's. Hey I'm a Hoosier too!!

It is gorgeous!!! Well worth the time and effort you are putting into it! <br /><br />Keep going with that fantabulous rotation!!! I've never been able to stick to one and I also suffer from that *thing* that always makes me want to start a new project before finishing the 89 others already started, but I am rooting for you!!! I figure if you can do it, maybe I can, too!!!

I do like the outlining!
Thanks for you...Hi Coni,<br /><br />I do like the outlining!<br /><br />Thanks for your comments on DD's mural! <br /><br />One thought about the outlining. What might be bothering you is that it's heavier than the other stitching. If you used Very Velvet how about trying Petite Very Velvet. You would still have the velvet look but it a thinner form. <br /><br />If you used Petite Very Velvet, how about using the threads that you stitched for each heart and twisting them or make a cord and couche it down. That would add a little bit of dimension/definition but would not be as apparent. <br /><br />I would also like to humbly suggest that you couch down the ribbon that you used to outline the border. Of course, you have probably already thought of this but were waiting till the end before doing the couching. :-)<br /><br />I missed commenting when you were trying to decide if you wanted to outline the squares in the border. It looks fine as it is but it would be fun to experiment with some outlining in this area. I would first try just a simple backstitching using just one or two threads of a cream or gray DMC. The other option would be to use Kreinik #4 braid in the same color as the ribbon that you used for the outline. It would add a gentle sparkle without a lot of bling. Hmmmm.. You could also add Kreinik blending filament to the DMC and see how that looks. :-)<br /><br />If you can't decide on what to do ask Stewey! With his fashion sense, I'm sure he would have several wonderful suggestions. :-)<br /><br />You've done a wonderful job with this canvas and I'm looking forward to seeing what you ultimately decide that it needs! :-)<br /><br />Cynthia<br />Windy Meadow<br /><br />If you want to "talk" you can find me at <br />cyn underscore stitches at yahoo dot com :-0Cynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815507581216920872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-25681251432194039592009-09-26T18:22:41.881-04:002009-09-26T18:22:41.881-04:00Lovely, as usual.

It gives more of a 3-D look and makes the hearts seem as if they are floating forward and backward.
