Really not much to look at, just a few lines, but it's a start!
Although they are running from top to bottom, the direction in which I stitched them, on the finished picture they will be horizontal, just above the centre. I have hand stitched the central vertical and horizontal lines in very pale yellow thread so that I can plot where I need to stitch from the tracing I prepared last week. The idea is that once I have stitched over them, the hand sewn guidelines will be invisible. The trouble is that the cotton is such a close match to the fabric that they are pretty well invisible already.
A ridiculous amount of time and agonising has gone into starting this landscape. Let's hope I soon get into my stride.
Hi Muv, good luck on your project! It has to start somewhere :-)
