Let’s face it, life is a work in progress and since I shared the news of my Buddha’s Hand on Wednesday — the ‘official’ Work In Progress day — here I am on Friday with an update on the fern project.
Lesson learned: Stitching a snug quilting line around a tone-on-tone color scheme is a killer. Why didn’t I already know that? Perhaps I did but chose to push it into the furthest reaches of my memory banks. Let me just say that I spent more time taking stitching out than it took me to complete the quilting on this single fern image.
Some of my marking lines are visible here but I’m not going to spoil the “how is she going to quilt this?” question yet. I won’t be ready to begin stitching the over-all quilting pattern until I’ve stitched around the remaining 2 fern images. The good news: contrast on the remaining images is high so the quilting will seem like a breeze! Whew. Back to FUN!
