Putting them with the other seasons may make it appear less blah.Tisha Doltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275324414144730288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975264.post-77831385080094955562014-01-06T21:07:26.879+00:002014-01-06T21:07:26.879+00:00Such lovely projects, good luck with the Finish-Al...Such lovely projects, good luck with the Finish-Along! :) Nicole Follow the White Bunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552647840902000310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975264.post-89014823148887067432013-12-28T14:37:20.887+00:002013-12-28T14:37:20.887+00:00I really like the lettering as is, though it is qu...I really like the lettering as is, though it is quite subtle... without seeing the others alongside it's hard to judge how well that fits!<br /><br />I hope you had a wonderful Christmas (with lots of time for stitching?) :)Rachel Cotterillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08969719330048416996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975264.post-19170239546089328242013-12-16T14:11:49.614+00:002013-12-16T14:11:49.614+00:00I think your Autumn piece looks lovely and I reall...I think your Autumn piece looks lovely and I really like the style of words.

If you won't do that, you COULD pick the stitches and work them in a darker shade. Personally I wouldn't as I think they are OK as they are.<br />The peacock feather is getting more and more realistic and will be a stunning piece when completed.<br />Keep up the good work!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975264.post-57355876509790657822013-12-13T11:24:12.755+00:002013-12-13T11:24:12.755+00:00Do a partial drop-shadow of backstitch in either t...Do a partial drop-shadow of backstitch in either the darkest orange or a mid-shade of green...Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15322676800314521539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13975264.post-38773179151572948462013-12-13T08:53:04.582+00:002013-12-13T08:53:04.582+00:00Thanks Jane.

I think I need to lay all four out together and see how it really looks in situ.

That would help it stand out without being overwhelming. That way you wouldn't have to take out any of the stitching you've already done, just do a bit of back-stitching and there you go. :)Jane S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15820970191054803580noreply@blogger.com
