CHAPTER ELEVEN - part 2
Completed hanging
Presentation of supporting work
I have really enjoyed this project - the preparation, the design and the creation. I am pleased with my choice of colours and my choice of techniques. Yes, I have changed a few things along the way but most of my original ideas have stayed. I decided not to create three cords for the hanging as one, well covered, was fine. When using the coloured papers I was enthusiastic about the white zigzags and the green squares but when I got to the stage of adding them to the hanging they just did not work. It was a stroke of luck to have the indigo workshop two weeks ago and I was so pleased I had the brain wave of taking the white zigzags along.

Chapter Ten
Converting Hanging Design into Embroidery
Chosen design and design with addition of feature squares – Siân suggested these squares and I think they bring the design together. Lime green is a colour I have only discovered recently and one which I will certainly use in the future.
Design enlarged to A1 and design pattern ready for cutting
