What does the writing say ????

"Warning, unexploded projectiles"

Don't know why I have it hanging there; Mr.Ruby pinned it there and I've just never bothered to take it off. Sorry, boring story. |O

@Ploshkin .....what about white perhaps to give a sharp frame?

White could certainly work.  I think it's one of those things I would leave out for a few days in different guises and stare / squint / glance at every time I pass.  I find it helps with indecision, I do it with borders and bindings.

I am so disappointed!  I assumed it said 'Warning, unexploded projects' and referred to your sewing room!
I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

..sigh....unhappy with colours, some of the fabric (cheaper stuff I must admit) has stretched to bu--ery, can't decide on the background, wasted too much time trying to get it right and am losing confidence in bucket loads so have binned the lot. :( and retired with a glass of wine to lick my wounds.

Nooooo!  Get them out of the bin and put them out of sight for a bit and stop thinking about them.  When you revisit them I'm sure you will find that they are not the monsters that have currently formed in your head.

If it's any help I preferred the first one over the rest.  :loveit:
