It looks really great Barb and I was thinking of the wood grain all the time - that lets the colours in the stitching stand out and not be in competition with them


How are your eyes today?

I still like the idea of putting it in a woodgrain hoop. Sort of fits in the with whole hand sewing look to it. :D

:applesauce: :applesauce: Looks fab Barb.
Can you try a hoop and a frame over it, to get the idea of which look appeals to you most with it? :ratherbe:
