I wonder if whoever stitched the model used the wrong thread. Personally I would unpick the pink wording and use the same colour as the left hand flower, whatever that is, but be very careful if you do unpick, as I have had a fabric thread break on me, when unpicking, not what you want at this stage.Sandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07660062226247943111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11556054.post-80491789436325947912008-10-20T00:57:00.000+11:002008-10-20T00:57:00.000+11:00I love the dried pink roses and if it were me, I'd...I love the dried pink roses and if it were me, I'd stay with that, because NO WAY would I rip out those one over one stitches, lol.

Of course, in the end it has to be what you like. I see it is over one as well which always makes it tricky to unpick but I agree with Alison, perhaps do a bit more of the design and then see what you think. It will look great no matter what and it doesn't always have to be exactly as charted. <BR/>Good luck and I look forward to seeing what you decide. :)<BR/>Chrissie <BR/><BR/>PS I have just looked at the link to the finished work and I think the DPR would look much better. It almost seems a bit 'flat' IMHO with all that purple.From the Attichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07654168130900865440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11556054.post-42325798951852046282008-10-19T18:55:00.000+11:002008-10-19T18:55:00.000+11:00Hmmm I see what you mean about the colours in the ...Hmmm I see what you mean about the colours in the chart pic. But then again, the heart on the top sheep looks purple too. So maybe it's a printing thing. Either that, or SB have completely changed the colour after the pic was taken. What a pity you didn't post before I went to SB...they have all the models there in the shop and I could've checked for you.<BR/><BR/>I would skip the words for the moment and stitch a bit more to see if there is more pink in the design. Another nice silkie purple is Medieval Mulberry (silk n colors) which would look nice too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11556054.post-73709882433963281092008-10-19T18:40:00.000+11:002008-10-19T18:40:00.000+11:00If you're not happy with the DPR (and it doesn't s...If you're not happy with the DPR (and it doesn't sound like you are), then rip it out and use the purple. (Perhaps do a little bit of wording in the purple before you rip out the pink and compare them, so that you can decide which you prefer). <BR/><BR/>I often change colours in a design to be closer to what I can see in the picture, as usually part of why I like a design is the colours and thread dyelots can change so much. If the thread colour is putting you off, then I would definitely change it, as I suspect you will be happier in the long run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
