Flub.....or Fix???

A flub or a fix, that is the question.  What do you think?



the area in question is/was the grass on the right behind the embroidery

You can also see some other changes have happened since I last shared a picture.  There has been some stitching, highlighting and shadowing done on the barn (and those pesky boards!) and the base for a tree limb has been added.  Now to add some of those fussy cut leaves to finish that area.

Today I have a definition for you..."Stashcovery:  That moment when you rediscover an item in your stash that you forgot you had"

  1. I had to go back and look at the picture from the 7th to see what the issue was (I was so fascinated by seeing the indoor of the barn that I didn't even look for the area that you were frustrated by). Seeing both pictures today it appears that you have somehow faded the light areas in the fabric behind the flowers. Looking at the first picture, when I noticed the blue in that patch of fabric, I imagined it to be little river rivulets flowing down the hillside (that was easier to do when looking at the small picture, less easy when I enlarged the photo). But seeing the blue faded to shade of green today I have to say, I like that better. Don't know if this is one of those trade secrets, but I'm really curious what you did. I'm so impressed, Mary Anne.

  2. I don't think it's a flub. Looks like you added some green. I love that row of wildflowers. It's amazing to see all the differences when I pull up both pictures. Great work!

  8. Good Morning. I'm not sure what you did to that embroidery area but muting the background somehow is perfect. The tree limb sure balances the picture. This piece is looking really good. Pinterest sent me an invitation to get lost in Future World. Shoved me right off the wall....sow or sew. Yay SEW wins!!

    1. Thanks Jocelyn. It was fun, once I figured out the logistics of how to create what I wanted.

  13. Fan-tastic! I'm impressed by your tree branch; timber marking (I thought I was looking at the original photo) and converting the roof from one piece to aged sheets of cladding;..... and definitely by your plank framework.

    Without doubt, you are on a roll with creating great barns.
