Well, that was a pretty depressing couple of weeks. For the past month I've been working on a really large panel – it measures 25 by 15 inches, and involves seven different large designs, and you can imagine the work it took to digitise and put together. But last week I got it finished – and it's AWFUL! It really is just a mess. It's certainly colourful, but that's about all you can say about it. That's the problem with this kind of embroidery – you really don't know what something will look like until it's finished, but by then it's too late to change it. Oh well, now that I can see what I did wrong maybe I'll try it again, and hope that it will be easier (and better!) this time. Meanwhile I really need to post the next two designs of the bird-and-leaf panel.
If you're a newcomer to the blog and haven't yet seen this project, a picture of the whole thing is at https://theaccidentalembroiderer.typepad.com/the-accidental-embroiderer/2019/05/a-big-freebie-project-.html. After that I posted two parts of the design every month, and today we have the 7th and 8th part of the design (the first and second designs in the bottom row)
Here is design number 7, and here is design number 8 (in .pes v.6) and here is the worksheet for design 7, and the worksheet for 8
Hi Mia, Hope the next large panel turns out to be what you expect the final results to look like. I think we have all spent a lot of time on a project only to have it turn out to be not what we expected or like or experienced a disaster on the sewing machine that destroys the project in the last few stitches. Have a Great week!
Mia, thank you for you free bird block designs. So sorry to hear about your large panel not being as you saw it in your mind. I’m sure your next one will be just as you envision it.
Mia, I am sure the project is going to be a hit! One is not always a good judge on your own work. All the best!
Thanks for the bird.
Your panel I like it, but when I have something in my head I see it differently than it turns out and I am very disapointed but others see it as it is and like it. So as I said I like it!
