And I should have left plain, white, well-enough alone.
And THEN I invested many hours of my life creating this pattern on the fabric.
Then, I broke the lamp I had done all this work for. And I did not want to waste all the effort. So, I watched a couple of videos online about how to cover a plain shade with fabric.
And it turned out thus:
The good news is that this failure did not cost me anything but my time. And I learned a couple things, so the time was not completely wasted.
I’ve covered a lamp shade before. It’s hard to get the fabric straight. Your stitching is beautiful!

Thank you. Note to self-do not cut up hours of work.

I am in awe of your positive attitude! 😀 I’m not certain I would have gotten as far as you did without ditching the project. I am equally in awe of your lovely stitching. ❤️❤️❤️ I hope you have plans to do more of that.

Not real soon. I am currently caregiver to my mom with a broken knee and my son with a more complicated disability. I do love fabric art–so you can’t keep that suppressed! I’m sure there will be more stitching…..

I hope your mom is healing well. You may be at the point, by now, of both of you being impatient with the process. Putting your attention on a somewhat demanding task must have been a relief.

She is better, but (surprisingly/annoyingly/fascinatingly) not doing everything she can to heal. She is a grown woman-so gets to decide how to proceed.
