Around the Rainbow

is the third and final release for Nashville. I’ve shared the progress of this and here is the final version – it ended up 10×10, mostly because I was out of canvas! As it was, I had to sew muslin around the edges in order to frame it! When I originally started stitching, I actually thought I was going to do a small design but it just kept growing and growing! After each round, it could have been complete but I just envisioned more in my head! I seriously considered stopping after the third round – at that point the finished size was a little over 5 inches and would have looked fabulous in a black lacquered box. However, I kept going and ended up with this! It’s all overdyed Vineyard Silk from ThreadworX – if you know me at all, you know I just love stitching with this thread! Of course, you could do whatever you like…even change the order of the squares, colors, or types of thread!
