I'm using a Silk'n Colors limited edition floss for the letters, on a piece of Floral Watercolor Meadow from Sunny Dyes; here is where I left off a couple of months ago:
And here it is as of last night:
In a stroke of bad luck there are three painted flowers on the fabric where the white pinafore is stitched, and even using three strands of floss couldn't cover them completely. It also didn't help that some of the paint color came off on the white floss as I stitched, turning it slightly pink. I'm thinking of using one or two butterfly buttons to help cover the spot; I think one button looks better overall, but two buttons cover the spot more completely, so I'm torn:
I'm going to order some pink butterflies, and then I'll play around again and see how I like them. I'll have to sprinkle two or three more throughout the design, as well, since having them on just her skirt would probably look strange!
At this point I'm still waiting for Cece at The Thread Gatherer to re-dye some of the Pink Succulent floss I'm using for the alphabet, so I can't really do much more until that arrives; hopefully she'll get some time soon.
Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
