Progress is always good!
Slow....but good.
I touched up a few of my stones as the paint was a bit blotchy. They are still drying and appear darker in this photo. After completing more of the stitching I decided to leave the stones whole. That was my original plan. I am sticking with it!
This is what my stencil looked like. I used a cardboard pizza round. I then traced my stones onto the fabric with a Micron pen. Finally, I filled the shapes in with a small paintbrush and my fabric paint. I actually found that I preferred this method to the regular stencil method. I felt like I had way more control over where the paint ended up.
Cheers!

Oh wow, I am very impressed with your handpainted fabric. And then handstitched around every single "egg"? Amazing. It looks great. I wish I had the time and patience.
