I finally got a lamp in the family room that I can stitch by in the evenings. Thanks, Good Will!
Now this should finish up quickly. I had planned to use this gold and white for the background.
But I’m rethinking that decision. I tried this too.
I think it needs to be a solid. I sure am glad I didn’t cut the Hexies already. I’m trying not to buy anything, but my stash here is limited so this will take some thinking.
Have a great day!

The red makes it sing. IMHO, of course!
The red background makes it warmer i think (feel). But……
Here in north of the Netherlands it is getting colder.
I like the light background because I like the contrast. And it reads as a solid, saving the search.
