Thoughts of Spring

I designed this pattern based on a photo I took last year in my front yard

I like that a lot, Robert. Very nicely done.

VERY nice Robert! That looks terrific.

Robert, that's a great design and cutting. I assume that's a swallowtail?
BTW, isn't the butterfly off center, horizontally?

It's nice to see you back. You've been kinda scarce.

[MikeDingas]

Nicely done. And from your own original pattern, too. I have GOT to get moving!

Good job Robert. Never tried making my own patterns, got to try one soon.

[CanadianScroller]

Excellent job on pattern design and cutting.
I also like the colour behind the flowers.

Thanx for the kind words everyone . I am pretty happy with this one . Time has not been my friend lately I work for Home Depot Supply and if you read or watch the news at all you know what a tough time they're going through. Well that trickles right down the ranks unfortunately . I try to keep up with my online family though, and sometimes taking 5 minutes to read the posts here makes all the difference in my sanity I hope to find more time to be active soon

Mike the placement is on purpose. I had it centered originally and to my mind's eye it just looked better moved up with more wood exposed on the bottom

Thanx again everyone .....you guys are often the brightest spot in my otherwise frustrating days of late

Be Proud

That is very nice Robert! Great job all around.

What you've chosen to cut, chosen to leave is a wonderful balance. You should be very proud of this piece.

Take care

nice job. I agree with your moving the centering. It has to look good to you artistically, which I believe is lacking in alot of pattern work. make the mind's eye do the work! Les-jr
