I added a beige strip to the left side of my stitched piece to give the figure there more breathing room. I had to attach some patches to the bottom to make the beige strip long enough. The precise intersection of the green and purple fabrics was a happy accident. The green fabrics in the middle of the photo are from Deb Lacativa&#8217;s big bag of dyed scraps.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/img_7221.jpg\" class=\"size-full wp-image-8775\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/img_7221.jpg 375w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/img_7221-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 375px) 100vw, 375px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Detail of water falling from a hose into the purple ground.

These two loose threads seemed to want to play a part in this composition. They did not ravel loose like other threads detaching from their weave. Rather than clipping them off, I couched them down.
