Two more large panels and a short break

It’s back to the large panel project this week. I’ve been working hard on a lot of different things but can’t show them on the blog as yet, so I’ll return to this old project, which involved making a collection of very large panels - 10 ½ x 16 inch (272 x 408 mm)

Here are two more of them, featuring flowery motifs. Cherri (who stitched these out) did them on a strongly patterned background fabric, and although this makes for a very effective overall impression it also makes it difficult to pick out the embroidered details, so I’ve cleaned up the background of these images up on graphics software to make them a bit easier to see clearly

 

 

 

You can see what I mean about a strongly patterned background making it difficult to see the details. But you can take my word for it that the overall effect with the background is very effective, and the pattern really adds to the overall effect

Now – next week we’re off for a very welcome holiday in the English Lake district. It’s a beautiful part of the country, in the county of Cumbria, and we’re really looking forward to it. But it does mean that I won’t be back blogging until sometime in June, so June’s freebie will be a little late. But it should arrive eventually, and will be another one for you cat lovers. So see you in June!

Hi Mia, Wow! These floral panels are stunning. I love the colorful display of the different flowers and butterflies.

Hi Mia, The flowers are beautiful, yes I see that they would disappear on a heavily patterned material. They really stand out on plain fabric, but perhaps a lightly washed effect material would also be okay. ENJOY your holiday, and much needed rest. Stay Safe.
