OK, now couching down the black cord on the door panels goes really fast but the gold lettering on the mottoe? Not so much.
As you may remember, I am looking at about 29 feet of lettering. At my current pace of 2' on a weekend day and about 6" on a weeknight that would be....a long long time. About 2 months of a long lllllooooonnnnnggggg time.
My hands hurt just thinking about it.
...but... Oooooh!, SHINY!!!
So I will persevere. If I am a very lucky girl I will get better (stronger, faster) with this process also. I sure do hope so.
To keep myself entertained in the meanwhile, I have been pondering my approach to the top most part of the center section of the Pavilion. I know it is going to be 3'x9' with the upper 1' covered with a band of the same glorious blue-green fabric I have been using throughout. I also know that I am going to be appliqueing on a period motif of a man capturing dragons (on the front of the pavilion) and my adapted version of a woman capturing (luring) them (on the back of the pavilion). I've been putting it off because I wanted to be sure that I have cut all the large continuous pieces I will need from the applique fabric before I start on the little bitsies that make up the dragon motifs.
Since I'm going to need a break from all that mottoe stitching, I guess the time is near at hand.
