Lori M. said...

This looks incredible! I love the color scheme.

Tracy H said...

So now what are you going to do with all the Carrie's Cottons that you have been collecting? ;o)

Melissa Hicks said...

Replace them with Carie's silks and then give them away as presents?

Nah - I'll still stitch with them - especially some of the really yummy multicoloureds .... Epiphany is sitting here in front of my monitor whispering "dragon" at me. Need to find the right dragon chart I suppose.

I would like to suggest that you take the q-snap frame and place it on top of the fabric. The extra fabric you handle is now the back side when you place the clamps on. The oil from your hands will be on the back, not the front of the fabric. The owner of Q-Snaps said that I was right in using that technique, he used the wrong way on their pictures to show how a q-snap works. Use clean, large butterfly hair clips to hold extra fabric out of the way, or get extension tubes from q-snaps to hold the entire fabric as one unit without having flapping fabric outside the snaps. That is what I do, and it works so well.

Sisu Lull said...

Lovely Mel! It looks great even without being done yet!

Lori M. said...

I'm going to be no help, but I think it would look fine either way. No matter what you do, it will look gorgeous!

Cait Johnson said...

This is continuing to look better and better the more you do. It is just one of those patterns.

Karen R said...

LOVE this!! I'm no help, either - it looks fab as is - but I also wanna see what's next :)

OR, you could do one of each :) :) :)

Melissa Hicks said...

Now who do I know who does the same chart in different ways - hmmm Fireflower comes to mind .... {grin}

Nah - just the once for me for now.

Paula Hubert said...

Oh - that's wonderful! Congrats on the finish!!

Karen R said...

That's gorgeous!!!

Kerry Dustin said...

So pretty.

Laura Landis said...

Mel, your needles must've been smoking on this one! Beautiful finish!!

Melissa Hicks said...

I find Tracy's geometric patterns very easy to stitch. To me it is intuitive where the next part of the design goes, so I make far less mistakes than normal.

Also the Carrie's silks are a real joy to use!

Jodie Hill said...

This is absolutely gorgeous! Congrats on another great finish!!

Christine Forber said...

Gorgeous.

Nancy Murdock said...

I like it from far away too!!

Paula Hubert said...

Oh yeah, this definitely looks even better from a distance! I love it!

Tracy H said...

I'm happy you decided to fill in all color spots. I thought it looked fine earlier, but I really like the look as you finished it. So, what are you going to do with it now?

PS - I'm going to snag the photo and add it to the inkcircles.blogspot. because it's so nice it needs to be shared. Okay?

Melissa Hicks said...

Yup - very happy for you to snag any of my photos at any time :)

I think I might find a good framer and double or triple mat it .... proabably with corners cut off the mats .... will have to discuss with a really good framer. Then it may well be snagged to go up on the wall at Colours Down Under - probably near the new Carrie's silks stand - but that's mere supposition on my part ....

Lenna Vaughan said...

I like it just this way but, I know it would really be stunning when completely finished.
I do like this pattern, thanks so much!
God Bless ~

kay jones said...
