From the back you can see I like to 'outline' the entire design in split stitch before I begin 'needle painting'. This give me a real idea of how the design will work and If I need to make an adjustment in color or an added element. It also holds the backing, in this case a small piece of lawn, taunt.
Even the buttons echo the colors! The good Lord knew I needed to relax and enjoy some stitching time!
Thanks to Mary Corbett for daily inspiration. Without her web site I may never have found how much enjoyment could be had from the simple activity of embroidery.
