(Posting a day early so that I don't forget...) My July finish for Stitching Lotus's Smalls SAL:
I finished the two-owl block in the upper right corner.
I'm starting to think that I might only stitch the 9 blocks in this design, and not the words. For reference, here's what the full design looks like:
My problem is that I don't love the content of the text. I really like the way the text looks, but "frolic in the foliage" isn't really....me, I guess. Ever since I started stitching the design I've been trying to decide what to do about the words at the top. Leave them off? Use only the second line? But aesthetically, I feel like the two lines are needed to balance the text along the bottom.
One thought I had was to edit the top section to read
and then add some little motifs around it, like on the bottom. But that would require making decisions and recharting things, and my brain is not sure it's up to it lately.
What do you all think? Leave off the text? Or rechart the top text section?
