Darn it, made a blunder right at the finish!
 
1 Attachment(s)
I had to make a wall hanging for an online exchange and the whole time I was worried that I make a mistake and was so happy that it all went so well ... until the end! I was on a deadline to finish and send it off, and not sure if that is the reason or not but I was putting on the binding by machine (I don't hand sew) and I'm going along thinking how nice the thread matches etc etc and about halfway done I'm realizing it doesn't look right. OMG I put it on backwards! Huge sigh of frustration, what to do what to do ... because I did some thread painting on it I had fused it to Peltex to stabilize the stitching. I decided to leave it, have it be 'homemade' and quaint ... afraid that unsewing would leave needle holes in the top ... if it were for me I would not mind ...

The person who receives it will think that is what you intended. Looks good to me.

Crqltr 03-25-2014 05:57 PM

Absolutely beautiful!!

CookyIN 03-25-2014 10:08 PM

I honestly doubt that I'd even notice it. That is really pretty and whoever gets it is sure to be thrilled. Great job!

That is so pretty and no mistake as far as I can as I always put my bindings on that way.

dlong 03-26-2014 03:16 AM

If I machine sew the binding, I always put on from back to front. Hand sewing I go from front to back.

Mary O 03-26-2014 03:37 AM

So beautiful! If you can do that you can learn how to hand sew a binding...

Very pretty.

nena 03-26-2014 06:42 AM

I absolutely love it.

LynnVT 03-26-2014 06:52 AM

Looks great to me! I'm glad you posted it big because I can really see the details. Sometimes it's not as clear. Every mistake is a design element, in my opinion.

DJ 03-26-2014 06:57 AM

That's a gorgeous piece. I should take a class in thread painting. I think that's what it would take for me.

fred singer 03-26-2014 07:13 AM

fivepaws 03-26-2014 07:58 AM

Fantastically beautiful! Someday when I am old and gray, I will try thread painting. Oops, I better start now!!

Mariposa 03-26-2014 08:01 AM

I sure hope so! Thanks for ALL the supportive replies, I really do feel better about sending it with my 'blunder' ... thanks again!

joyful1 03-26-2014 12:52 PM

Very, very pretty!!!

pjnesler 03-26-2014 04:48 PM

Beautiful - I'd be so happy to get a gift like that!

Material Witness 03-26-2014 06:23 PM

Well, I can't see any blunder at all, and am amazed at all the thread painting. You can't do that in a hurry, I am sure it would have taken me a year.

n2scraplvr 03-26-2014 10:06 PM

Wow! Gorgeous! Great job!!

SueDor 03-27-2014 01:55 AM

It's beautiful!

2manyhobbies 03-27-2014 03:46 AM

Well I wouldn't know the difference. I would just love receiving it.
