I have just finished a square for Natalie’s quilt. (notice the predominate colour . . . please note that the above predominate colour, although I seem to always stitch it for Love Quilts, is not the colour I dream of stitching! )

As I’ve said before, “Only for Love Quilts

The chart originated from two of Steve’s photographs. It was quite an experience! Cropping and arranging the flowers and butterfly to selecting colours from the full DMC range reminded me how much I hate making decisions . . . after all, how do I know if the colour I’m choosing is really the perfect shade . . . the next one just might be better!

I must learn how to get the realism I love without all the fractional stitches and backstitching that leads to you questioning your sanity. What I did learn (again!) was not to watch good movies while stitching. I know, I’ve learned that many, many times before, but I thought Harry Potter movies would be safe . . . there are no space battles in them . . .
