Test Stitchout of Peacock

I decided to use a different design on the tablecloth as matching up the four parts was very taxing on my vision. ( I only have 20 per cent.) I gave the stitchout to my hubby for our 48th. wedding anniversary. He loved it. The design is from Hatched in Africa.

Thank you. I shall try hard not to be envious. I love Peacocks. I've only seen them at the zoo. What a joy it must have been to take care of a flock!

What a kind thing to say, Carolyn. Thank you very much.
I have Marfan's. It's a degenerative disease of the connective tissue in the body. Both of my lenses detatched within eighteen months of eachother and had to be surgically removed to prevent damage to the retina. I now have no periferal (to the side) vision. It's difficult but I refuse to give up. Thank you for asking. 3 big hugs right back.

There is Marfans in my best friend's family. It is a very difficult thing to live with. I admire your attitude and strength in fighting this disease! Keep on stitch'n!

Thank you. I hope that you will try a split design sometime. It is my visual impairment that made it difficult for me.

Wish I had the hoop sizing to be able to do such beautiful artwork for my walls! I'd love to do that!
by ksgram1 13 Oct 2012
Thank you Debra. This was a split design and required four hoopings. I used my 5x7 hoop. Would that work for you? Special hugs.

He is gorgeous. There used to be a pair of peacocks live a few doors away from me. They made the most awful noises!

This is a fabulous stitchout! The first time I tried it, I thought all four x's were supposed to be on top of one another. Silly me. Love your color choices too.

I love this design and have drooled over it many times, but I only have a 4x4 hoop.
You did a beautiful job, I am so jealous.
