Hand Stitching Added

I think hand stitching really brings these little “notes” to life.  With each one, I’ve added any of the group colors that are missing.

I made the lines a little too long on this first one, and they floated away from the fabric.  So, I couched the middle of each one with a contrasting thread.  I really like the effect.

This one had none of the orange.  But it does now!4 hand stitching The large blank area on this one begged for something special.  These yellow curly-Qs seem to be the perfect touch.  (The drawn lines will be removed later.)

I sure am having fun with these!  There’s a large piece on my design wall that’s nearly complete.  But, I’m having a hard time motivating myself to finish it just yet.  Oh well, who says I need to?
