So I've done the first three motifs in the Hardanger Fillings class with Jane Ellen Balzuweit. I definitely have some tension issues, and I noticed some errors in the stitching, but I am not ripping out anything. I keep telling myself this is a learning experience, and it is a notebook course--so maybe leaving the mistakes makes sense. After all, sometimes it helps to see what you shouldn't do as well as what you should.
And looking at them here--this should keep me humble!
We had the second class this morning, so I'm going to spend the afternoon working on those motifs. Who knows, if I decide to ignore the dust rhinos and the laundry, I might be able to go ahead and get next week's homework done.
Ann, do you have Yvette Stanton's Hardanger Filling Stitches book? It is wonderfully and full of ideas and tips.
