This is a very small portion of gold leather on black, somewhat akin to the one I have in Across Australia, currently touring.Wth the leather hand appliqued from behind, I am much happier with the appearance of those segments.
I am tossing up whether or not to quilt more in addition to the grid currently stitched down in perle #8 in a thead which looks remarkably like the same colour as the gold – it isn’t – it’s a khaki, but very shiny.
I have put the whole piece aside, and perhaps putting a fine binding on it might be all there remains to be done.
