| Luna Unstitched |
I'm talking about how to stitch a ground for Luna to stand on. I mentioned earlier that the canvas design already reads "ground" when you look at it. Check out the bare unstitched canvas above. See what I mean?
But I still wanted something there, something solid. You may want to look at Rachel's posting about how she handled this same problem with a Paddington Bear she stitched. She cleverly changed the color of her background stitch to indicate ground.

However, I'm not going to stitch Luna's background. I think I probably will leave the custom gray canvas with the speckles unstitched. So that solution won't work for me. Ok, what kinds of things do you find on the ground in graveyards?

A suggestion of ground is sometimes enough. But now I'm wondering if I should take that last paving stone out again....

I think the last paver should come back out - its too close to the edge of her dress. But then again, I might leave it as it and wait until Luna is stitched and see what it looks like then. I am always amazed that you tackle the background first, when I tend to leave it to last.
I love it Jane and as far as I can see there's no need to remove anything. You need the 3 rows, it makes more sense. You've "anchored" here and looks great
I like the first picture of the paving stones, so vote for taking the last one out. Can't wait to see what other fun stitches you add to Luna!
I would leave the paver until you have your dress in, as that will make all the difference. So far it looks good, can't wait to see what you do with RIP :) Sheena

I agree with MN. I know it works well for you to do the background first, and I see your logic, but it wouldn't work for me. That being said, I would remove that last paving stone. The edge of the dress would be curling up over it if it were that close. That is just my opinion for the day.
It's always interesting to find myself writing about something that someone else is thinking about too. I like your decision for Luna - it will put that little bit of weight at the bottom and stop her floating!
Great minds think alike, Rachel! LOL
