| Brynwood Needleworks - Border Ideas |
Let me begin today by stating that my artistic talents definitely lie with needle and threads, not in drawing. That being said, I'm doing rough drawings of a couple ideas I have for stitching the borders on "Everlasting".
Another option might be a wandering vine-type configuration with sprays of lavender sprinkled about. The thing is, I'm really trying to avoid a directional design that would look odd on the top and bottom. I'll continue thinking and drawing, but I'd love to know what you think.
Any type of Lavender spring would be so pretty.

Hi Marilyn:
DeleteI'll definitely use the lavender idea. Thanks!

I love the circle but it's probably harder to create? My reason for perhaps not a vine with lavender is because lavender doesn't grow on a vine. Now, having said that, a vine that combined several of the flowers from within the quilt (and perhaps including some lavender) would be fun. I know - I should get off the fence and make a concrete suggestion shouldn't I!!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Maggie:
DeleteMy thoughts exactly...that's not how it grows. I'm leaning toward the circle, keeping random bee placements in mind. It is a little more work, but I think it will look best in the end. I giggled when I read your comment. Thanks!
