It is indeed! I’m no longer afraid to take offending stitches out which makes it easier!

Do not be frightened to stitch. That is how we learn.

I’m already starting to think about Christmas! Crazy how fast this year is whizzing by. I certainly hope I end up with a good natured fox! At least I don’t mind re-stitching if needed ?

I agree, it feels as though this year is fairly whisking past. Take the fox slow and steady, and I’m sure you’ll end up with a goodnatured looking Mus’ Renard!

Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement Jessica! ? I really appreciate you taking the time to offer your advice and encouraging words. I hadn’t thought about the effect of a break in silk shading but you have spurred me on! Thank you!

Your fox and pansy are looking fine, Catherine! Just keep going. Silk shading is one of those techniques that don’t handle longer breaks well. That said, only experienced embroiderers will see those breaks in the finished piece. All others will be smitten by the result!
