This is the project I was doing when I made a big mistake. I was able to save this by stitching over some of the error in the bottom of the bowl and change the colors for the sides. I am going to have to try it with the correct stitches and doing it right. I was surprised by the size of this - and thought that it would be larger. This is a Zundt design.

Beautiful bowl--love those Zundt designs--did two of the paisley bowl/doily sets before Christmas---lots of stitches! But definitely worth every one. Remember no one else scrutenizes this like the stitcher does! Thanks for sharing. Lj

dlonna, this is very nice - I am glad to see that you went ahead and finished the project and save what you had - you got it stitched together really well - I love the Zundt lace - it is the best that I have found - a bit pricey - but so wonderful. Some of the bowls are not as large as we really thought that they would be - but they are really a good size - once you do one or two of them. Great job. Oh I see that your have gone over the 1000 mark - as well - CONGRATULATIONS. *4U

dlonna, if this was a mistake, let us all make them. What a beautiful bowl. How big is it, it looks large to me? A flower for your patience and endurance.

I should have pictured it with something that could give reference of the size. The base of the bowl is only 3 inches, and the width of the finished bowl is 5.5 inches. Quite small for the amount of stitches and time that it took, but do like it.

Wow, Dlonna, I seriously don't see the mistake! You made an excellent 'save' apparently, and came out with a very nice bowl despite whatever happened. Sorry for your error, but this is a fine example of the saying, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!" Outstanding work! Marji

If we don't make mistakes we don't learn. But, I hate doing things over to correct these. yesterday I had to trash something that I was doing, there was absolutely no saving it.

Thank you the desing is by Zundt Embroidery. Rather expensive considering you only get the bowl base and side.
