Happy Dancing!

I did it! I did it! I finished the baby sampler piece… WAY before midnight. In fact, with enough time to spare that I was able to scan it, then fiddle around with my scanning software’s color correction settings and scan it again! And here it is:

JBW Designs - Cute as a Button

The design is by JBW Designs, called Cute as a Button for Girls. I substituted DMC for all of the overdyed flosses called for, except for the GAST Evergreen in the border. That’s the only one I had, as I don’t have a lot of overdyeds. I also substituted buttons that I bought at WalMart which happened to be a reasonable match in color. They are a lot bigger than the button pack that I used when I stitched the model (which you can see here, if you’re curious), but the ones in the button pack didn’t match color-wise and I didn’t have enough time to go from store to store to find the best substitutes.

Now, I just have to find some time and the courage to try finishing it as a flanged pillow! Sorry for posting 3 times in one day for those of you trying to get caught up. 😉
