I love your two cross-stitch projects too.<br /><br />Life has been so busy that I'm late getting around to visiting everyone but I wanted to stop by and thank you for linking up to last week's Stitchery Link Party!

I also know how much better it feels when you've found the right path that finally satisfies what you first intended. So, good luck with the handquilting this time around, and cheers to you for having the courage to fix things, and not just stick it in a closet like most people! <br /><br />I think it's going to be a lovely runner.<br /><br />Julie @ Pink DoxiesJuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7466381655230766766.post-36370921008317505162015-06-01T02:06:29.051-04:002015-06-01T02:06:29.051-04:00Taking out machine stitching is such a pain but so...Taking out machine stitching is such a pain but sometimes it just has to be done.

I didn't take out the machine quilting but for the middle I wanted it by hand.

Of course, I'm partial to hand quilting. ;-) Seriously, it's best to just bite the bullet and switch, even if mid-stream, to something that will be more pleasing. It would be a shame to end up with a finished project that you're just not totally pleased with.
