The round and round couching on this petal was stitched entirely wearing my new glasses. I don’t think that the stitching is quiet as good as the first petal, but I am determined to get used to them and not revert to wearing the Eschenbach, which I am sure do my eyes no favours.

I am still enjoying the couching but am wondering whether to take a break from it and work on Venerable Friends so that I do not become bored with it, or whether to press on while I am into it. If I continue, I am also wondering which petal to stitch next. If I do the one to the left of the first petal, all the large petals will be finished and I’ll only have small areas of couching left. On the other hand, if I do the two remaining petals on the right, one half of the flower will be complete. Decisions, decisions! I wonder if others waste time over trivial decisions the way I do!
Happy stitching

This is a good question which I also will have to answer. I'd lean towards doing the other large petal, to mimic the way we stitch cherry blossoms (head, hands, feet). These petals are upside down compared to a cherry blossom, but the one pointing down is definitely the main one, which I think of as a 'head'. Having said all this, I know so little, so you probably should ask your teacher. I'll be interested in your choice. Thanks again for your wonderful posts.
Oh my, I am in awe of your stitching, it is superb!
Hello fellow facebook friend! what i am curious about is how facebook decided we knew each other (spooky big brother stuff that is). this is beautiful as always.
Karahana is coming on wonderfully, the glasses must be working okay. I have not done any more of mine at the moment.
