T5 Done.....I think
On this beautiful Thursday morning I wanted to share with you my T5 finish!!!!! At least it is finished as of this point.....confused yet?! Heck, I certainly would be. You see this beautiful piece below and say what else needs to be done?
The Border. Yes, when I started this piece officially on January 1st, I wasnt planning on the border. Though the course of time, chatting with friends, some were doing the border, and most were not. Ok, easy, lets see how I feel when I get there.
Taking it off the q-snaps, I do have enough room to squeeze it in, it would be tight by my standards, but it could be done. However, I think it is gorgeous the way it is with out the border.......so as of today, I am going to put it on the side, and think about the border. To do or not to do.........

So as of right now, T5 is done, using Lakeside V Navy Bean 32ct, with NPI and Florimell. I will revisit it if I feel the need to do the border, but on to Willow Tree. I am excited to stitch on something 'new' again and get another great piece under the belt. I know with Nashville going on this weekend, there is bound to be some new stash coming my way-- although I dont know what as of this point. But it is the year of the WIP's and I did start and finish T5 this year, so back to the grind as they say!!!!!
Hope everyone is having a great day!!!!!

I like it without the border. I think the border is distracting and doesn't add anything to the piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finish! It looks great with or without the border. Will you add initials?
ReplyDeleteI sure will :)
DeleteI prefer your piece without the border. Congrats on your finish.
ReplyDeleteBorder looks like an after thought and is understated fro such a beautiful piece!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your beautiful finish.
ReplyDeleteI think the border takes away rather than adds to the piece. If I were you I'd stitch my initials and the date and take it to the framer!

What a beautiful finish! I agree with the others, it is pretty on its own. With a great mat and frame on it it wouldn't need a border.
ReplyDeleteLove it! You can certainly choose a frame that will "border" this piece perfectly!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty....I like it as is but like the one with the border. Decisions decisions....
ReplyDeletehappy stitching...
It's fabulous just the way it is.

Hmmm, I think you're right to leave off the border. I think it looks great without it myself. Such a gorgeous piece! Congrats on the finish!
ReplyDeleteI really like it without the border. The individual patterns through the design seem to stand out better. The border is more ornate than the utilitarian and simple darning patterns. I love, love the colors. Congratulations on this finish, I know it was a tough one, but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWell. Hummmm! I believe that the border pictured is too heavy for the piece. If you do decide to border, make is a simpler one. The original detracts from the delicate work in the body - this is from a quilter. Ask yourself this - are you showcasing the body or the border.
ReplyDeleteHappy Stitching!
Wonderful, beautiful finish!
ReplyDeleteGreat finish!! Happy dance time!
ReplyDeleteI personally would not stitch the border as it boxes the stitching in and is too heavy but it has to be to your taste.
ReplyDeleteI so want to stitch this.
The overdye for the letters looks fabulous!!! L.
