Finally submitted to the Silkweaver Showcase

Nothing like waiting until the last minute. I had a picture but wanted to get as close to the actual color as I could. I still don't think I got the exact color of the fabric across, but it's better. I just uploaded a larger version of this image:



Looking at it again, I can see the little shadow at the bottom from where the couch cushion ends. I probably should have cropped that out, but oh well.

I think I have a chance at maybe winning a prize, but so do most of the other submissions, lol. We'll see what happens. This is the first time I've submitted anything to Silkweaver. It would be so cool to win some of that fabric. It's a tough competition, though.

Silkweaver Showcase

Hey! Looking through my finishes I actually finished something on Silkweaver fabric this past year. I have some others in progress, but forgot that my Mermaid of the Pearls was stitched on Silkweaver's Jubilant. So, I'll actually have something to send in for the showcase this year. I need to iron her so she's not wrinkled and hopefully get a truer color -- that fabric is a bit more green than it shows in the photo. I think getting the color right will be the hard part.

Here's a picture. She's not framed yet, so I'm going to get a better picture of her to submit to Silkweaver. I always drool over their showcases, and I don't know how they make their decisions -- all the stitching looks so great.
