I solved my pink border dilemma, it's blue. Since Olive had a mischievous look on her face. I decided to put her in a bed of flowers; pink flowers that is. Cathy, you got your pink in the wall hanging.
Luckily, I took this picture before the extreme heat and the storms we had this summer.
To stitch Olive, I used the stippling stitch, but now I wished I had just stitched along the edges of the material to make her puffier. I decided it was time to come out of my comfort zone of just using the free motion stippling stitch and meandering stitch. I drew the top of the flower in the background and free motioned stitch them. I also decided to shade the flowers not with fabric, but with magic maker. I know, that wasn't a wise medium to use, but easy and familiar. Next time, I will use paints. I think the fabric I chose for the border just adds to the mischievous look Olive portrays.
It looks like someone took watercolors and painted the sky; a beautiful sunset over Lake Michigan.
