I am at the very beginning of stitching on a Alabama Studio Sewing + Design Poncho. Excuse my wrinkles.
I am trying to use up the rest of this fabric from the making of my first Chanin piece. Frankly, I do not love the color (Blue Slate) on me for the summer. I am hopeful that I will like it more paired with black for the fall.
This is the photo that inspired me.

I love how the circles are not perfectly round. More organic. They remind me a bit of river stones. So that is what I set out to stencil on my poncho.
Now that I have started stitching I am thinking it might be best to cut out the centers of my river stones. A decision must be made quickly and I am utterly torn! Thoughts?
Cheers!

I have to say, that whichever you decide, it will be gorgeous! Can you wait until they are all finished, and decide then? I think that when you have a larger area stitched, that you may know better.
ReplyDeleteMillie, You were spot on. I stitched more of the stones and found that I loved it more and more with each one I completed. Its very bold & graphic! I will post another picture latter today.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are liking it! Can't wait to see it.
