I changed my mind on the color of the variegated perle I used for the feather stitching, opting for a hand-dyed blue/violet ombre instead:
I also ran out of the perle thread about six inches from finishing. Since it's no longer available to buy more from the one lady who makes it, I thought I'd have to unpick all the stitching and do it over. Aka total disaster. Only I dug through my thread stash to see if I had something close, and discovered I'd actually bought two skeins of it. So I was able to finish without a problem.
Even the backing turned out neat:
Since my guy liked this one so much I'm keeping it. I thought it looked nice on the counter between the kitchen and dining room:
Stop by tomorrow and I'll show you which project will be next.
