Finished after a long day yesterday, and posed for a picture this morning...
My friend from church brought me printouts of the kanji. I decided to just embroider them, doubling a single strand of floss. The photo doesn't show the autumn one well. Red on purple isn't much of a contrast, but it is actually clearly legible in person. I just put small quilted images in the corners... cherry blossom, sunflower, colorful leaf, and snowflake.
Next challenge will be getting it mailed to Boston.
Meanwhile, a stewardship banner needs to move from graph paper to fabric, and a hanging sleeve needs to be added to the church anniversary banner. Both of those have about half a month to get finished. No more time for dithering....
This is fabulous! Very well done.
ReplyDeleteLovely!

Your characters are a wonderful touch, this is so beautiful all over.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!! Dithering is one of my favorite pastimes - LOL - ;))
ReplyDeleteYes, however good a photograph, some particular colours work better in person, don't they..
ReplyDeleteA lovely finish. Great work with your embroidery.
ReplyDeleteThis is really lovely, and so complete in its details! I hope that you will be safe from the storm.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful quilt! It is "right-side-up" no matter which way it is hung!
