Lacing time

 I’ve reached the point in my Melody in Mauve piece where I’m lacing the fabric around the foam core for framing. This is an easier task in my mind. I could ask the framing shop to do the lacing. But, I always fear the piece will end up upside down in the frame. Or the fabric will be pulled too tight for how I’ve tacked down around beads. 

So, I’m threading up my needle with a long, long, long length of thread that I’ll spend quite a bit of time adjusting before pronouncing it good. I may even leave things overnight to let the fabric settle.
