So, I'm not fussing at you already!! It is your own sensibilities that urge you to make the correct choice. (OK, so maybe a little peer presure is in there, too.) I take it the curvy border you showed me at KASF is the one that's right out? I'm so sorry!! You're right, too, it would have been more attractive. BTW, I just bought the first Robin Netherton book & there's a huge article on Anglo-Saxon embroidery in the very front. I've only gotten through about 3 pages so far. Will let you know how it's going.
