Well last Friday I picked up "And a Garden Grew" by Rosewood Manor and started stitching on it again. I kinda figured I could finish it in three days and guess what? You got it kiddos, its done...... :))))))))) WOW, what a happy dance for me. I stitched this once before and never could find a frame for it. I sold it and three days later or so I found the perfect frame. I bought the frame and started it again, 2 years later its finally done. WOOO HOOO!!!!
As you can see I completely left out the trellis, roses and words and just filled in with little flowers, birds, bees etc. I really like it.
Now I do have a problem though. I washed it in cold water and of course, the red ran badly around the two birds on the left hand side. The fabric has dried and my question is, if I re-soak it in ice cold water and keep changing the water , will more of the red come out. Its pretty noticeable to me. Not that I wont frame it and hang it, I will but would love to be able to remove a little more of the red. I thought maybe I could add a couple tiny butterflies if all else fails. What do you think girls? Should I try soaking it or is it set for life since it air dried?
Heres the pic............drumroll please, lol
I would love any input from you about soaking or not soaking it again.
Thanks for coming by:))
