It’s been about a month since I last wrote on the progress of my Amish Diamonds pillow. I am now almost done with the colored diamonds, having less than 10 to do.
Then it’s onto the background. You can see from the picture above how dramatically the black background changes the look of the pillow. The colors pop against the dark background and the whole thing looks more finished.
The bigger the mesh size of the canvas, the greater the difference is between stitched and unstitched. If this was 18 mesh instead of 13, it wouldn’t be as apparent. This is a good thing to remember when you are thinking a canvas looks a bit dull. The space between the threads dilute the colors painted. Stitch a few more areas and see if it is improved before giving up.
