I did not complete the project before the conclusion of the semester, but the assignment was to make weekly progress and updates, so it’s okay!
Lessons learned:
• Working with the pattern – with such a small canvas, there is a lot of room for error. At some points I needed to rip out the thread because I was stitching in the wrong place. Eventually, I realized the sunset pattern is pretty forgiving so certain inaccuracies were kept in the project.
• Separating threads – Halfway through the project I started running out of thread and it was because I was using 6 strands instead of separating into 3 strands. Slide 6 shows a section that needed to be completed using some thread of my own.
