This is what Early Farm Scene looks like now. Looking closely you will see a color and slight value difference in background on the left between the tree and black sheep. That was in the original antique so was able to use some of my olde patina wool from previous dye lots to get that look.
Some things I want to change, which was not the fault of the purchased pattern, is pulling out the purple in the top motif (is that a sun or crop area?). That purple needs to be red. Also my Cross is unevenly hooked so that must be fixed. The reset I can deal with.
Now to the tornado. Here in Delaware we get snow storms, hail, flooding, hurricanes, had a couple mild earthquakes and sometimes tornado warnings. Of all those things it is tornadoes which scare me to death.
When living in California was terrified of the earthquakes because they had more magnitude than encountered in Maryland and Delaware.
During the wee hours this morning there was an EF2 tornado touched down between my town of Seaford and neighboring town of Laurel. On the news it was reported to be about 50 yards wide and the wake of damage traveled 6.2 miles, you can see some pictures by clicking HERE.
After enduring the two trees blown down with just straight winds last March 2, 2018 this would have been very scary if I'd had my iPad in the bedroom when the warning was announced.
My new Olde Patina dyed wool is in the dryer and hope there is something which will work for the remainder of the background. But, if not, I'll do what was done before....use what I have.
