Re: Iris
Sorry about any frogging you had to do. The iris is coming along beautifully with all those lovely purples. I'm looking forward to more updates.

Re: Iris June 1st
I continue to be in love with this piece...especially the colors. That is truly a color combination near and dear to my heart. Thank you for sharing.

Re: Iris June 1st
...and speaking of colours, I came to the end of my #209 luckily I had another in my stash, HA, it's totally a different shade. darker, not as pink as the old. I am ticked off, the shade doesn't match the master book, and it doesn't match any other shade of purple they sell so it's a waaay off dye lot. There is a large bit of that shade just above the last bit that needs that colour and it's a large area too.
Don't know what to do. The only thing I can think of is to use it and if it looks too off, then I will have to pull out the other bit, damn.
