| I made many mistakes with this one, f.e. way too many thread-beads in way too many colours and way too many running stitches, instead of invisible basting; so there was a lot of un-stitching, leaving puncture marks in the delicate fabric I reconfigured the 2 top left patches and added tiny dark blue crosses, yellow stars and red pinpricks with one central red dot |
 |
| what I love most about this one is the corner I had to add on as the 2 layers of fabric didn't quite measure up |
