Birds of A Feather Finish

Posted by Jan

It's hard to believe, my first finish in four years. I didn't think I'd ever get this thing off my WIP list, but here it is. I have one dilemma with this piece. When I got the floss with the charts and fabric as a kit I didn't bother to check and make sure the floss was colorfast having never worked with WeeksDyedWorks over dyed floss before. After I finished the border from part one I discovered the large red flowers bled when I got one wet. So the question is - Do I soak it in Orvus and cold water and hope for the best. Or, leave it dirty and try and steam out the hoop rings in the linen.

Sorry for the crappy snap. I tried taking a picture outside in the natural light. In one corner it says ... 11-2013 and the other my initials... J K J
