Feather Stitch

Thanks very much for all the responses to my previous post. Although the general consensus was that the flower fragment should be added, I decided to go with Carollyn's suggestion and do some white feather stitch around the edge. That's because what was really bothering me was that the turned in fabric allowance was showing through. I thought the flower fragment would distract the eye from that, but the feather stitch was a better solution. Thanks Carollyn!

I had to look up a tutorial on feather stitch, practise it for a bit and then do it. My stitches are not absolutely even, but I'm happy with the result. The flower fragment will go into my tatting tin until I find the perfect use for it.
