Opinions on Mirabilia Queen Mermaid on this fabric?

I'm so bad at picturing the results... What would you all think about Queen Mermaid on the "hidden cove" fabric by Sunny Dyes?

Also, Joan Elliott'S Earth Goddess on Sunny Dyes "Snickerdoodle" fabric?

Re: I received this fabric and it looks NOTHING like the pic

I emailed them and they offered to send me another if I sent it back. I doN,t see how they could even TRY to pass this off as something that was represented as a soft golden beige on the site! :neutral:

Yes, the piece is called Longue vie (long life) and the words are: Youth never returns a second time.

Instead of exchanging it, perhaps I should try to salvage it? :lol:

I ordered Silkweaver "Golden Promise" and instead of being a lovely golden beige, it"s a pee-yellow!

Does anyone have any ideas of what might look good on this?

HI everyone,
I just received "Golden Promise" by Zweigart and it's much brighter than the picture online. If I was it, will it fade?

Anyone have experience with the Lap Stitch Doodler Frame?

I am seriously considering this because after hours of stitching with my Q-Snap yesterday, my wrist got so tired from holding the whole thing... Have you ever used this type of frame? Did you like it?

How? I am tempted to try since the cost of pro framing is so high!
