3 days of stitching stars – count them THREE days – of stitching over previous messy stitching, ripping and snipping out stitching then just now my boy and i decide we like the backside better.
sigh.
this is a plate in my dinner party, the one for my granddaddy ballard. though the star resembles a starfish, on this plate it is actually representative of law enforcement. granddaddy was a revenue agent and a sheriff who enjoyed playing checkers, teaching grandchildren to sip coffee-flavored milk from a saucer, serving those same grandchildren vanilla ‘cream and small “co-colas” as gourmet after school snacks, playing checkers with saved co-cola bottle tops, and taking care of his favorite plowing mule.
don’t know if i’ll rip out the star yet again or just clean up stray threads and go with the wonky formerly backside version. will for sure rip out cup and redo it, but that’s a project for tomorrow ’cause tonight we’ve tickets to see the blue man group.
I’m just wondering what’s exactly wrong with the cup. Seems like pretty excellent long and short stitching to me. I won’t second guess your dissatisfaction with the star and to prove it I just deleted the sentence that did exactly that. But the cup. I just gotta know what’s wrong with the cup??!?? inquiring minds and all that.
acey, you make me laugh. and you make me realize that i didn’t clearly identify which is a photo of the front and which is the back side. if i tell you that the backside (which is now the front/top/right side) is the red/blue checkered fabric, does that cup look okay to you, this inquiring mind wonders?
