Another one finished another to start. I began this some time ago but really did not like the black dagger which just looked out of place. I unpicked it and was going to fill the gap with the colour of the skirt but someone of Henry's status would have carried a weapon. I have to decide if I stick to authenticity how to stitch the dagger because I did not like the one in the design it just looked wrong. I am going to continue with the rest of the stitching and hope inspiration comes. Perhaps some of you fellow UFOers have some suggestions. I am planning stitching this on Sundays so progress will be slow.

I too have this piece hidden away(unstarted) in my mini stash. I know what you mean about the dagger, perhaps you could use a gold blend in it to make it look less bold with the dark colour or perhaps change it to a lighter pewter colour. I'm sure H's dagger would have had a bit of glitz!!
Still Happy stitching to you. Look forward to seeing it.
Cant' wait to see the progress on this one!
Those of us who know this design know what the dagger actually looks like, not a dagger and that's for sure. I agree with Flo you could change the colour to make it not seem as obvious. I would leave a gap and continue with the rest.
I think I would simply change the color to make it less harsh and less obvious...
But it looks like a great design!
I like your idea of letting the inspiration flow when it comes. This project will speak to you... I look forward to your Sunday progress pics!
