Motif of the Week, Tudor Rose
Well, I wasn't able to dig out a scanner, (though we return to the family house tonight,) so the picture is taken from my Blackberry:

I still don't like the right side leaf, and I am tempted to take out the stitches and re-stitch them. I also would like to build up the white parts of the flower petals, so that they look like they are folded over. Otherwise, I am quite pleased with this!

If the right leaf is STILL bothering you, (and it was bothering you last post), then yes, I think you should take it out! (IMHO).
ReplyDeleteIf it were me, I'd say "it's only a small piece, let's make it as perfect as possible" and put in the extra white padding as well.
But that's my opinion. :-)
Did you know the Tudor Rose is my fav motif?
