Time for a Vote on Embroidery

I have yet to pick an embroidery for my shawl. I need some opinions. Right now it is too tempting to leave it simply fringed because it is so pretty as is. The base is the creamy off white with narrow fringe (right now).

I am thinking about this border – simple and doable.

Here are the corner designs I am pondering. Please vote for your favorite in the comments section. Info on why will be helpful.

    I definitely like the border and for the corner design I like #3 the best. It seems nice and simple.

    I like 3 & 4 about equally. They play well with the main border.

    I like #3 and #7. Both seem to coordinate with the border. You are ambitious!!!

    First off, I have to say that I’m totally impressed that you’re going to embroider an entire shawl! That being said, I’m going to reiterate what everone else has said thus far and agree that #3 is my favorite. I’m also a fan of 7, as well.

    Good luck! I’m sure it will turn out amazingly and we’ll all be drooling with envy. 😉

    Thank you for your picks. This is helping me narrow it down. If I were to go with #4, what tweaks in the color might look nice since it will be worked on a creamy off white instead of red?

    I love them all. I like 3 and 4 the most.
    I have a square of creamy white wool flannel sitting in my stash. You are making me look at it differently.
    A great winter project, sitting under the wool shawl sewing the winter blahs away, dreaming of the first spring event.
