Hi Caroline,I just love the two baskets you've stitched. They're too nice to be inside your casket. Are you doing a floral casket or a mix of motifs? I'm doing Tricia's all floral one with a few modifications. Right now I'm working on the double side panel using Tricia's design taken from an inside door of a V&A casket. I've just started and still stitching on the very large flower. I want to outline it in gold like you did the blue flowers on your red basket. Did you couch your gold or use an outline stitch? I'm having trouble getting the outline stitch to be smooth in the gold but couching the gold gives a more bumpy appearance than I'd like. You got it just right with your blue flower. Lee

Welcome ... Love your pictures of Seven grasses and LAN Hua. Do you take classes with Margaret? Hope to meet you in person some day!
