The pencil sketch on the reverse side:
Then I pinned on some interesting fabrics on the right side while holding the page up to the window to see the lines of the sketch on the wrong side.

Interesting process. Are you essentially stitching "blind" with respect to the coloured fabrics?
Yes, Margaret. I'm stitching blind for the right side. I'll get the sketch "drawn" in thread on the wrong side and then eventually go back to the right side to add a few colors and highlights from the top.
Thank you for sharing your technique! This is wonderful. Love your sketch!
Thanks! I've been wanting to try some of this type of work. You make it look easy, even though I'm sure it's not.
